adventurous emotional funny informative inspiring sad tense slow-paced

4.75

Great emotional story of war and abuse induced on people of Iran. So important to read. The wriitng was very consise and showed the growing of Marji very smoothly. The art was beautiful, but sometimes terrifying. The next story is even more heartbreaking. This really shows what war and oppression can do for a young generation.

morebedsidebooks's review against another edition

As a title that has continued to be a subject of controversy, it is worth highlighting the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund’s resources on Persepolis.
