Rating: It was amazing!

Persepolis(books 1 and 2,and the movie)is the story of young Marjane Satrapi,and her life in Iran and Austria. Persepolis really opened my mind to the culture of Iran,and that the enemy of all the world are the stereotypes of Western and Eastern media;as well as the troubles caused by the perversion of ideologies and religion. The exploits Marjane Satrapi,and the expressions of her point of view make this an interesting and fun-to-read graphic novel,and an excellent movie. As I said this book counters the stereotypes set by our respective cultures,snd gives thought to tolerance which needs revival in our society. The only troubles to younger readers would be the swearing,drug abuse and lewdness;but it's not a real problem if you overlook trivial details like this for the main point of the story.


Recommended to: anyone over 15(the books) and 14(the movie)
