Persepolis- Marjahe Satrapi

Confession- I didn’t actually read this book. I mean, I started to read it once while at my cousin’s house, and I was all about the idea of a comic book as a mode to deal with an extremely intense subject matter. And then I saw the movie, and since that is essentially the book set into motion and with a soundtrack, I don’t feel the need to continue reading the book. The little bit I did read (about 1/3) was incredibly powerful and I kept uttering “wow” throughout the movie. This definitely makes you think, and appreciate the freedom we have to wear our punk jackets and to listen to whomever we please. Well done, Ms. Satrapi.
