Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return by Marjane Satrapi

4.0

---

Just as good as the first volume! I of course related more to Marjane this time around, because we were the same age. What kept confusing me is why she insisted on staying in Iran, but yet I also understand it. This book (and its predecessor) taught me that I should consider myself extremely lucky to live in the country I do. I break 1000 of the rules Marjane had to follow everyday. I certainly learned a lot about Iran reading this, and even though there is loads more to uncover, at least I can say I know something. And even though some of Marjane's decisions I considered questionable, there is no doubt that she is incredibly inspiring.
