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.

Talking about freedom and the horrors of war and dictatorship, and the way the western world looks at West Asian countries, this graphic novel should be taught and commented in every single school.

The author also has such an eye for pacing and much needed levity when things got dark in the narrative. To be so honest about your mistakes and growth is really admirable.
Eventually I should watch the movie…
