A review by zombiezami
The Complete Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi

adventurous dark emotional funny mysterious reflective tense slow-paced

5.0

I'm so glad I finally got to read this. I watched the movie twice before, and reading this makes me want to watch it again. Marjane Satrapi has so much heart and candor and writes and draws in such a profound way that helps even outsiders understand. She is an international treasure.
