A lot of people that I know really love this book. Really love. This beginning may make you think that this is a negative review but I assure you it's not.
It was really nice to read something in FYP that was "light". That's how my friends might describe it. That's how it seemed. But with its violent images and hard life lessons I have my doubts about it being a "light" read.
I found that Persepolis really brings out how dangerous philosophy is to those who are not capable to understand it. I mean no disrespect to Ms. Satrapi seeing that it is her biography in graphic novel form because I would never expect a child to understand the things that she was trying to about any philosophy or her political situation. In fact, I would say that she had done very well. The fact is, that the main character proves again and again what a danger it is to wave around philosophy without understanding it, both in herself and some of her adult counterparts. She proved the danger of being a fanatic.
I did really enjoy this book, and yes it is a book. It is rich with detail and really puts your in the main character's shoes. I found it particularly hard to put down. For this reason I have rated it 8 out of 10. It was definitely a good read.
