## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Immensely loved this book
*by N***D on 4 December 2017*

“In every religion, you find the same extremists. Once again, I arrived at my usual conclusion: one must educate oneself.” ― Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi..#NadirasPointOfReview: What a kickstart to 2017! Three reading goals in one book: Memoir (my fave genre), Ethnic story by an ethnic writer (from and based in Iran), Graphic Novel (my very first!). Immensely loved this book. It's the story of the author and her childhood during the Islamic Revolution in Iran. Marjane then proceeds to escape to Vienna for a better life... only to return to Iran after 4 years... The book was released into 4 volumes. However, I bought The Complete Persepolis which had all of it together. I recommend to buy this one, instead of separate volumes..Cons: The politics bit went above my head at times. The font maybe a lil tiny for some people. Author's viewpoints, Iran's internal policies DO NOT represent Islam. Islam is not an extreme religion. It's the fanatics and extremists who make it so. In a religion followed by 1 billion out of worlds' total 6 billion population...the extremists make up a small %. So plz dont judge it by its people. Judge it by its Quranic teachings..Pros: The comic-strip adaptation was an excellent way of conveying this poignant story. Breezy page-turner. Perfectly suitable for readers like me with short attention span. Very humorous at times. Adorable yet perfect expressions in the graphics. Serious and sad story. Author fearlessly expresses her viewpoints without withholding anything back. 500 pgs full of words and prose sometimes fail to convey a story as well as 300pgs of comic strip can! I found tears rolling down my eyes at some points. Marjane's cool & supportive parents and grandparents are so lovable too.Very entertaining eye-opener. Highly recommend it! 5-stars.follow me on instagram @nadirasworld

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the read.
*by R***Y on 17 November 2022*

When you read this one, stop and pause for the grandmother's one real advice she gave the author when she was young.I am quite impressed with how the author presented so many events that happened in her life in just a little over 300 pages!However, my only issue is this:Damn the small fonts. It was a real struggle. Otherwise I like how well written and illustrated this memoir is.I don't have much to say about the political events mentioned or comment on the personallife of the author in the book.I just loved reading about the family bonding, especially between her and her mother, that between her and her father. I love the grandmother so much.Reading this memoir gave me some rare life lessons.Tips to read this graphic memoir:*Expect only black ink blunt illustrations/artstyle*Expect easy to get into writing*See the people in this as real and be more understanding towards them*Take your time to read it*If you are a beginner and cannot enjoy the book, close it and read it after a year or so. But read this graphic memoir once.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Masterpiece graphic novel - pure nonfiction & autobiographical - must read!
*by D***S on 25 April 2015*

Amazing tale of an Iranian ex-royal family embroiled in politics of their land, as seen from a child's perspective. Not a comic, very graphic in a way though with quite many shades of humour. Great style of writing - Satrapi's picturization is sometimes as or more humorous than her words. Masterpiece work. Gives you a glimpse into the one of those lives amongst the many others on our planet, that people tend to group and generalize without sensitivity, into some not so great category & try to relegate them to some corner of their mind - & to their affairs & seemingly endless & frequent strifes they then sadly pay least attention to. Thus somewhere one may tend to forget how so human each of us are, across the world, despite all our seemingly endless differences & divergant lifestyles, cultures, experiences, tastes & opinions. As the gritty author writes in her preface itself, one can forgive but not forget - as lessons each of us learn is the lessons learnt by humanity. The book gave the sense yet again that the world history has an innate rhythm across the countries - seeming cycles like weak gaining strength & vice versa in the never ending loops we call life. Must read, friends - I will recommend it to anyone especially during the current age we live in where we need more understanding towards each other at least to prevent another self annihilation of humanity at the hands of humanity out of greed, hatred, differences et al
