So we're going to talk about the amazing graphic novels by Marjane Satrapi. And even though these aren't manga or an anime series there is an animated movie (and cause the graphic novels were just so amazing) we had to tell you about them :)Persepolis, The Story Of A Childhood, is the first book about Marjane Satrapi's life. It tells her story through intense black and white drawings, imagination and the harsh truth of growing up in Iran after the Islamic revolution. If you want to know what it would really be like growing up in all that then this is the book to read. If you would like to learn a little more about Iran's history through an interesting view point this is the book to read. If you would like to read something that makes you think, 'omg i'm living a really good life, i'm so lucky to have what i have!' OR 'wow, what have i done with my life compared to that? i need to get out more.' Then this is the book to read!
I can't really tell you about the author Marjane Satrapi but if you read the books you'll find out all about her.
As a graphic novel Persepolis is defiantly one of the best out there. Its very well done, full of life, and the ending will have you craving for more...... Good thing there's a sequel! XD
This book is crazy it talks about a girl named Marjane who lived during the Iraqian War. It was funny to me how she lived her life. But she shouldent have gone past the limit and doing drugs to have pleasure in her life. This book was really good .
