Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return by Marjane Satrapi

2.0

Definitely more interesting than the first one but there are some opinions that I don’t necessarily agree with and that affected my rating. As a Muslim who happens to live in the Middle East there are so many things recounted in this memoir that opposed our religious doctrine and negated our cultural heritage. Who said that the veil is oppressive!!! God asks women to be veiled to get more respect and dignity and it is not a means of degradation or oppression. There are more points in this narration that I can’t justify but I think that the way it was told is good hence the 2 stars.
