azurascarlet 's review for:
Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood
by Marjane Satrapi
This was so good. It was kind of like reading [b:A Thousand Splendid Suns|128029|A Thousand Splendid Suns|Khaled Hosseini|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1345958969s/128029.jpg|3271379] but better. It was real, way less frustrating (actually not frustrating at all), funny and still so true to its origin.
It was also such a great way to learn history. I absolutely loved Marjane's parents. I really appreciate how they raised their daughter in times like that, how independent they made her and I really believe that this book could happen only because of them.
One reason why I really liked it this much is because all those characters are real. They existed and that stuff did happen. I think that makes all those characters more likable. They are not complete fiction. And in a way, you grow with Marjane. It is such a great way to tell this story. The language is simple and the illustrations keep it from getting boring.
