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.

3.5 out of 5 stars
I think I'm getting a bit burned out from graphic memoirs but this story didn't hold my attention as much as the first did. Still learned a bunch but not my favorite book

This volume picks up where the first volume of Persepolis drops off and chronicles Marjane's teenage years in Austria, her return to Iran, and ends with her eventual decision to leave Iran for France. Much like the first volume, I enjoy the simplicity of Satrapi's artwork, and the way she uses the medium to express complex ideas and history. My only issue is that I felt quite disconnected from Marjane - for some reason, even though I know it's all true, I couldn't really believe all that she went through, both in Vienna and in Tehran. It could also be that I just didn't care, for whatever reason.
Really good, like the first one, this story will stick with me for a while..
maybe its for those who dont know iran much, but i dont think its gives the best impression of iran.
"So much for my individual and social liberties."
Un maravilloso, muy inteligente autobiografía que es la mezcla perfecta de humor, auto-descubrimiento, política e identidad.
