I was a little apprehensive when we started ready Persepolis this week. I wasn't sure if i was going to like reading a graphic novel. I didn't know if it would keep my interest or be as good of a read as another standard novel. I'm am happy to say i was wrong. I am way more interested then i originally thought i would be. In fact, I can't wait until I can get home every day and read a little more of the book. It's funny, which is what i wasnt expected. I think that the humor is needed because the issue of the revolution in Iran is very serious and i think viewing it from the perspective allows us to take a step back and take a look at the whole picture without putting our own feelings into it. The book is full of so much emotion (and not just negative, angsty emotion) that it doesnt need any of ours. Its really easy to emerse yourself into the character, which I really like. I love getting lost in a book, and i think the fact that this is a graphic novel makes it that much easier. There is a lot you can get from the text, but the images just add to their meaning. So far, Persepolis gets an A+ in my book
