My reading comprehension is crap, and is confounded by thick historical detail. Persepolis helps that by being a memoir from at first a child perspective and by being in comic format

The art is also simple but effective, clearly being the author's own unique style.

i love that there is humor. The beginning is during the Iranian Revolution, the Islamic takeover of Iran, and then the Iraqui attack, but Marjane finds time to lighten things appropriately.

ooooooo

DAMN

i love the expressions

it was okay. the first half was better than the second half. the best, obviously, were the peeks into the persian iranian world
