Persepolis 2

Marjane Satrapi

4.21 AVERAGE


Just as good as part 1! I especially liked the section after Marjane returns to Iran, mainly because I love reading about her relationships with her parents and the rest of her family. I hope to continue the journey with volume 3!

I loved both Persepolis graphic novels. However, this was felt more personal and was harder to read. The first one was definately sad and captivating seeing how Iran was changing from the Islamic Revolution [Iran-Iraq War]. This though, it was hard to see how she was struggling with indenity in Austria. Then, when she went back to Iran it was hard for her to adjust to freedom being taken away. The ending was probably the best thing for her. This was very eye opening, and I will think about this for a long time.

As the previous one, this one was really interesting into the islamic culture.

Amazing war story told in a very intersting unusual way
you can't but fall in love with the characters
and It certainly left me wanting more but in a good way

Liked Persepolis generally - it's hard not to appreciate Satrapi's work - but for me, it was neither unputdownable nor did it make me want to read into the subject more.

Esta segunda parte (volumen 3 y 4) no me gustó tanto como la primera debo decir, quizá fue porque tuve que leerlo en digital.
Aquí tenemos a una crecida Marji tras el abrupto final de la primera parte, donde la vemos ir madurando, creciendo, cuestionandose y a su vez cuan duro es Irán cada vez más, tanto que tuve enojo, tristeza y rabia por todo lo que viven y más mujeres.

I️ wouldn’t say it had the same impact as the first in the series but seeing what a cultural revolution looked like first hand is always fascinating.
