challenging dark informative reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

This is Marjane Satrapi’s story of growing up in Iran during the war between Iran and Iraq. It is heartbreaking and informative and I think everybody should read it. 

It is important to learn about different cultures and histories and this exemplifies that.

This was really well done- the story is obviously incredibly dark and at times hard to read but really well written and explained and I wish my library had access to the 2nd one online so I could read that one as well
