Persepolis II - The Story of a Return

Now some of us may have a bind up of both parts, so if you do leave your comments here.

I find her observations about life in Austria really interesting, I find it always so wonderful when an outsider comes in and looks at life in a place you know and points out the odd things everyone does. I just adore it.

Thought this book was interesting. Hearing about Satrapi's life in Austria was on one hand a basic coming of age story with all the experiences a teen may go through and on the other hand a rather sad story of a teen living on their own.
Satrapi's narrative and black and white graphics, like Persepolis I, give a very matter-of-fact story. It is up to the reader to provide the emotion. This worked for me for the most part except when she returns to Iran. I found it hard to sympathize with some of her actions without further explanation.
Overall this is an interesting book and I would recommend it especially if you have read the first book. I gave it a 3 stars.
