Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood by Marjane Satrapi

4.0

I've been meaning to read this for years. I enjoyed this a lot. I learned so much about Iran's history and culture. I know so little about that part of the world so I appreciate books like this that provide insight without condescending to the reader or being super dry and boring. I thought the comic was a unique way to present the story, akin to Spiegelman's Maus, although with less emotional depth (imo).

I look forward to picking up part 2 in the future.
