Perzepolis: Zgodba o otroštvu by Marjane Satrapi

adventurous dark emotional informative reflective sad fast-paced

4.5

I really enjoyed this graphic novel, despite knowing very little about Iranian history. It took me out of the story a little bit at first, but the narrator revealed enough information throughout the novel, without it being a forced exposition, that I found myself more immersed in the story and knowledgable about the topic. The story itself is heartbreaking, and the author portrays the heavy emotions masterfully. I am sad to see the end of her childhood end on such a sad note, and I am even more saddened by the fact a lot of people have lived through what Satrapi has lived through, and still do to this day.
