Persepolis

The book "Persepolis" by Marjane Satrapi was actually very enjoyable to read. I'll admit that I was dreading reading a whole book in such a short period of time. But, I just kept reading because I wanted to know what would happen next and her illustrations made it entertaining. It was about her childhood in the midst of the Islamic Revolution. It was probably really difficult to grow up in that kind of environment. I know that I would always be scared of everything and everyone.

It was so interesting how she managed to go through so many phases in life while the war and chaos was going on around her. She tried to find herself in many different ways and found herself hanging out with a variety of characters. There were also little bits of with and humor in the story. It was more apparent in the beginning when she was a child. As she grew into an adult, it seemed more serious; which is understandable since she was much more matured.
