Great graphic memoir! I really appreciated reading Satrapi's child-perspective on the Islamic Revolution and the the war with Iraq, as I didn't know a lot about prior. Looking forward to reading the sequel.

I thought that this was a very informative, brutally honest, gut-wrenching memoir. I went in knowing very little about the Islamic Revolution, and believe that this is an excellent starting point into further research no matter what age you are. I did end up docking my rating a star because the story felt a little disjointed at times, but I still recommend picking this up!
