Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return by Marjane Satrapi

5.0

---

I couldn't put this or "Persepolis 1" down and read them in quick succession. Satrapi's story is riveting, frightening, and inspiring, not to mention feminist to the ultimate badass level. This is a tale that everyone should read, but it seems particularly important for contemporary Americans to check out as our government chips away at our rights to privacy each day. The illustrations are fantastic as well. Loved these books, really.
