What Members Thought
A fascinating look at another culture and its radical changes, told by a protagonist with profound ties to the personal and political aspects of these changes. This was compulsively readable, and really gave me a new point of view.
This is the second graphic novel that I’ve read by Satrapi, after reading Embroideries last year. And while I love some of the drawings, I am never really drawn into the characters or really the story either. I understand the appeal, and I wholeheartedly approve of having graphic novels in a library. They do capture reluctant readers or offer an alternative to not reading for some. Just not for me.
Wow. Not much more to say than that.
