Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood by Marjane Satrapi
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was my first experience with graphic novels and it turns out I am quite pleased. I never thought illustrations would enhance the story like it did. I can completely see why everyone is giving this book such high regards. All that said, I am only giving this book three-stars because I just didn't enjoy it THAT much. Maybe I am not politically-minded enough. Maybe I am not liberal enough. Maybe I am just not plain cool enough. I don't know what it is but me and the book never really "clicked”. I mean, sure, I read the entire thing and it never felt forced but would I read it again? Nope. Would I recommend it? Not to everyone I know (which denotes a 5-star read). In the end, I am still very glad I read this book. It was worth the time, if for no other reason than I have discovered new territory in literature. and I deem that a success.
