Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return by Marjane Satrapi

1.0

I can't and won't like a story where author tries to show how their sufferings led them to use drugs, playing the victim card or How their endurance lead them to where they are.


I might be wrong when I say this but I will say it anyways, ups and downs are part of life. Like everyone's life on this planet Earth. Of course, few are born with privilege, others are not but yet portraying yourself as a victim.... Nah not something I can admire or appreciate.

I have seen this in many autobiographies where author tries to gain sympathy by enumerating how tough there life was. And I want to say to them, well hello earth to you, that's how it is. Life sucks. For most of us. Still we carry on. The reason why I don't pick up autobiographies Coz I hate reading sob stories.

Maybe I took it wrong or maybe I missed something that clearly many seems to be empathetic towards it but this book just made me feel so angry that I thought of DNFing it but I didn't as usual.
