I have heard amazing things about it as well and am glad that you liked it. Did you know that they made a movie based on the book as well? It is done in the very same style as the book and looks interesting as well. This is another book that I have been wanting to read for a long time.

Summer time... I'm curious - did anyone else find the small print hard to read? Over forty adult readers may be demanding that YA books be in large print soon - especially graphic novels!

Last year I read THE SHINIEST JEWEL, a graphic memoir about a mom's experience during an international adoption -- very nicely done. Kathy - The shelving also makes me realize that kids know more than we think they do (they're aware of world events) Ryan - you might preview it first; there are a few graphic/violent scenes (consider the subject) Kool-Aid Mom - yes! After I read PERSEPOLIS 2 I want to see the movie :) Lisa - Yeah, I find the same thing ... TBRs in my head never get read! J.S. - it's on my wish list now. Kathleen - yes, very timely. I think the author's notes in her intro are poignant. Denise - I want to read more about Marjane's life after she leaves Iran; did your class read/discuss PERSEPOLIS 2 as well? Beth - Huge kudos to the county for recognizing the importance of this story. Anna - well worth the late fee I paid :) Stacy – I want to read more graphic format books, too.

I was proud of my county for picking such an important book in a medium that was likely unfamiliar for many. The two books were the Centre County (PA) Reads pick last year.

It was definitely one of everyone's favorites and highly recommended for high school students. I found Marjane's story compelling and heart-wrenching. The illustrations were simply amazing!

Given all of the recent unrest in Iran it seems even more timely to read it. Thanks for a great review. I’ve had this one on my list to read for quite some time.
