Is it bad of me to say that I didn't particularly enjoy this book?
As far as the graphic aspects of graphic novels go, I wasn't blown away by the visual aspects of Persepolis.
And as far as novels go, the personal story of Marjane is extremely interesting (though I suspect not too dissimilar from that of a lot of people in a similar position in the 1980s), but I didn't learn much that I didn't know already about the big historical issues that frame the book.
At times the book appears to me to be a bit too raw, but maybe that's because it is ultimaltely written and drawn through the eyes of a young woman still trying to find her way into the world.
