Marjane Satrapi

challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

“This afternoon on TV, I saw mothers who were claiming to be overjoyed and gratified by the deaths of their children. I can’t figure out if it’s faith or complete stupidity...” (pg. 99)

Marjane Satrapi is a shining example of courage and decency in the face of stifling religious oppression and cultural misogyny. If you can read this book and not love her, I don’t want to know you.

I thought the second half was not as enjoyable as the first part. She starts taking drugs and feels really whiny to me. I had trouble sympathizing with her, especially compared to the other people's hardships. Still, I enjoyed it; just not as much as the first.

An excellent piece of work by the author.
