Enjoyed it...and it helped satisfy my curiosity about the character's life, but Persepolis 1 was much better.
This should be required reading. In the most accessible possible narrative, the story shows extremists employ Islam as a cultural weapon and turn Iran into a different country in the late 1970s, lasting throughout the following decade. It's heartbreaking, beautiful, charming, and, above all, sincere. It's easily one of the most triumphant examples of memoir.
Great illustrations. Evolution of young teens, ideas of individualism and being true to your own notions and ideologies are well portrayed through the life of Satrapi.
Este segundo volumen es más tranquilo porque cubre el tiempo que la autora se va a vivir a Austria y vive unos años ahí para después regresar a su país e intentar encontrar qué quiere hacer de su vida.
Me pareció muy interesante ver cómo se había acostumbrado a ciertas "libertades" y después tener que volver a su país y re acostumbrarse a las normas sociales y religiosas de allí.

I didn't like this nearly as much as the first part but the Persepolis experience would certainly be lacking if someone were to simply skip part two.
This is the continuation of the first Persepolis book. The two books should be thought of as one whole book which happens to be published in two volumes. It is not over until it is over.

There’s not really too much I can say in this review that I didn’t say in. My review for volume 1, but I’ll try.
• Again that art style is simple and conveys the story really well.
• I learned some more whilst reading this one, things I never would’ve learned otherwise.
• I think this one touched more on identity than the last volume. We see Marji as she moves to Austria and how she tries to fit in. She’s never ashamed of her culture, but she struggles with how much to talk about as she just wants to fit in.
• I don’t think I really talked about it in my last review but I highly enjoyed Marjane’s voice. She definitely doesn’t paint herself in a positive light and knows that she’s messed up, but she’s an incredibly passionate person that fights for what she believes in.
If you haven’t already I’d highly recommend picking these graphic novels up. Memoirs and biographies are not my favourite so the graphic format makes it much more digestible.
