4.0

I preferred the first Persepolis, but enjoyed this one quite a bit, as well. The first Persepolis had more of an emotional impact on me and I learned so much about the Iranian experience.

I feel like Persepolis 2 is much more tumultuous than the first (granted, probably due to the fact that this one is dealing with Marjane’s adolescent/new adult experience vs. the “simplicity” of childhood) So it was quite a rollercoaster ride... but at the same time, much of this felt so relatable, and Satrapi does a great job encapsulating that feeling of teen angst & uncertainty.
