Cuánto me (nos) queda por aprender de Oriente y de lo que nos llega a través de los medios de comunicación. Debería haberlo leído antes.

I'd been wanting to read Persepolis for years, due to all the buzz. The buzz, incidentally, is in fact quite warranted. Satrapi lays out the history of the Islamic revolution, as experienced by a young girl (herself) in Iran, in a format that is easily read, makes the content easy to understand, and makes an impact. I was not well-versed in the history of the Islamic revolution, so this book helped to educate me about Iran's recent history.

It's a beautiful, simple, and elegant comic. I plan on seeking out the film adaptation.

I love when I read a book and actually learn something about a period of history.

An important glimpse into the Iranian Revolution from a young girl’s POV. If anything it should be required reading in schools. Fantastic story.
