“Funny!”
“im sure the iron is lost on some people”
“who ever liked this book can find the rest of it which is related to the recent events in Iran, here:http://www.spreadpersepolis.com/from-friday-to-sunday-12-to-14-of-june/”
“This is a moving and real account of a girl growing up in Iran during the revolution and their country's war with Iraq. The book is a graphic novel, which makes it a quick read. It was enlightening learning about another culture through the eyes of a child and it was a reminder that not all residents of the middle east are religious fanatics. Readers learn the consequences of both revolution and war along with Marji. And what they go through just to keep what they believe and the scarifice they made.”
“ITS VERY NICE”
“I think it would be much more appealing to a sophomore English class than reading something 'classic' like The Canterbury tales or The Iliad and The Odessey. Plus, the content is relevant to current political issues that the youth of today need to be aware of.”
“Wow! A graphic novel as required reading for sophomore English. How do you feel about this format of reading for a required course? Is it too "specialized" in its audience?”
“and the animated movie ended up being a fantastic follow up to a perfect literary duo (1 and 2). Perfect in the rawness of characters, the wonderful illustrations, the beautiful jacket. I think it smelled good too. Five stars!”
“The graphic novel of today has the power to empower and educate. Satrapi's work is important in so many arenas: national identity, culture, politics, women's lit and studies, coming-of-age to name a few. I'm glad someone turned me on to this work. I'm looking forward to the sequel.”
“This was a very graphic novel. It was a great story by Satrapi. I think it shows the story in a different way. By putting it in comic book form, i think it also attracts readers b/c they enjoy that.”
