Book Reviews of Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood
Book Review: A comical view of tragic events
Summary: 4 Stars
The comic-strip format of this book took me awhile to get used to. Following the author-child through the events of the Iranian Revolution, I could sympathise with the upheaval she must have experienced, although I felt she was only skating on the surface of her emotions. In some ways there is a curious, almost surreal lack of depth to this understated approach, although to be looking at the comic-book child helps keep her perspective in view. It may not appeal to all tastes, but it is a provocative introduction which may lead you into a more detailed study of the time it represents.
