Persepolis: Story of a Childhood

Persepolis: Story of a Childhood
By: Marjane Satrapi, Mattias Ripa
Reviewed by: Alexy B., 14
Rating: Really liked it

A graphic novel about Marjane Satrapi's memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution.  She spent her growing up years in Iran, as the daughter of wealthy middle class parents. The black and white graphics were really good and really illustrated the story in a profound way.  As I first started reading this book, I didn't think I would like it, but it is well written from a child's perspective.
