A review by futurama1979
Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood by Marjane Satrapi
4.0
This was a super heavy book. I thought I was going to read all four volumes today, but I decided I can't do that all at once.
That being said, it's the beautiful, beautiful memoir of a resilient, brilliant young girl. The parts towards the beginning, her talks with god, when the illustrations were more fantastical, were my favourite parts. But every section of this held weight.
The illustrations were wonderfully expressive, and the characterization of young Marji and her family was amazing and made me so fond of them all. A real love for her family, the world, and intellectualism shone in this book.
