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.

Book #1 is much stronger than Book #2, but both are equally important in sharing the author’s life story. #2 is much slower than #1 pace-wise, and feels much less eventful.
