When it comes to Persepolis, I can say that I liked the graphic style and the black and white colouring; I felt like these stilistic choices suited the story quite well. I also appreciated the humour peppered throughout, I did chuckle out loud from time to time.
I read the volume including all 4 parts but I didn't like them in equal measure. The first segment is the one I enjoyed the most, with its focus on the author's childhoood. Still, I cannot but admire Satrapi's honesty in depicting her personal life, the good but also the bad and the less palatable of it.

Negatives. Because this graphic novel is a chronological life story which compiles important events from the author's life, it does not have a traditional story structure. The eclectic storytelling suits the life Marjane has lived but the lack of structure makes some sections drag on.
