Unlike most of the books I've recommended, 'You Are Here' can be read out of sequence, and multiple times, with no loss of pleasure.

The experience is more akin to leafing through a museum folio with high definition prints.

I don't think I enjoyed this book as much as I did Persepolis one and two, probably because this group of women could almost be anywhere rather than the book being about Iran or her life.

A short, adorable glimpse into the lives of Iranian women of several ages set over afternoon tea. Though not the 3rd in the Persepolis series as anticipated it is another gem from this Iranian turned Parisian.

In the sequel to Persepolis, she returns from Europe to Iran. She decides to live with the totalitarian regime in order to be near her family. This book is great at showing the pattern of the dictatorship and the mind control. It's amazing how they got the courage to live their lives under the regime the way they did.
Like Persepolis, I found the graphic novel format to be really interesting. Her pictures add so much to the story with minimal text.

The second installment of Satrapi's life story is poignant, honest, funny, sad, and everything you can think of. A graphic novel set that is worth your time - it won't be long - you can zoom through it!

Surprisingly good! Here's a small spoiler - she loves men with mustaches and motorcycles!

Brilliant, literary, funny, tragic, sad.

Graphic novel. Great images that just enhance and play along with the story. It's always amazing to me how an author can write literally two or three sentences on a page in a graphic novel, and you can still feel it tug at your heart strings. Great book. Wacky family for sure, with funny and serious elements.

Very touching and well drawn memoir from the person behind Dykes to Watch Out For.
