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.

Reading notes:
Momo sucks ass.
She just accused man of a crime he didn't commit? And what she accused him of is not even comparible of her wearing lipstick? And her and her boyfriend are so happy about it? They deserve each other.
The scene with the pills in uni. Just like, girly, if you have something on your heart, maybe don't throw it at the first person you see?

I do not actually remember if there were examples of addiction, alcoholism and drug abuse, but I am not planning to reread the whole book to find them. It felt like they were there, but do not trust my word. Also, ableism is there for like a chapter, but it is bad.issyd23's review against another edition
