The Complete Persepolis
The art style is simple, which again, gave me some ppause. I've never much been a fan of simpler art, but the story was well worth it, and the simple art style I must admit worked for the novel.
Marjane is a girl after my own heart, at one point trying the advice she hears from philosophers to humorous effect. She stays precocious and grows even more liberal as she ages and realizes just how much is at stake in her home country of Iran.
Overall, a great read, with political commentary that manages not to be so heavy it suffocates you. It certainly opened my mind to reading other graphic novels and i highly recommend it to anyone who is hesitant about the art form

It's really great but there's also a pretty good movie version if you truly struggle with graphic novels. I love reading graphic novels but sometimes it's easier to watch the story animated than read.CarrieMe wrote:I sometimes have trouble reading graphic novels, but I've heard so much about this one that I really should give it a shot.

Oh, that’s brilliant! I love that.Vscholz wrote: ↑18 Aug 2018, 14:16 I often use the section about The Veil when I teach college composition. It is effective at giving students a different perspective on life and really comes in handy when explaining how we are literate in different ways. It is a good example of how our experiences shape our perceptions, and it isn't very long so students can get more information from less text.
I haven’t read much of the book, but I have seen the movie and also read that section in the novel. It’s on myself night stand, but it’s long and I haven’t made the time yet.... I really really need to...
