| 1. |  | Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood
from Pantheon
Price: $10.36
Customer Review:
I read this book, and I was very unimpressed with the amount of opinion Satrapi put out as fact. The story is clearly biased against the Islamic Republic, which is fine, but is overly so. Satrapi never gives explanations on events that are critical to the entire picture. She never gives the reasons... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 2. |  | The Complete Persepolis
from Pantheon
Price: $16.47
Customer Review:
It's tempting to say that Satrapi chose to write her memoir as a graphic novel because she's not very good at narrative writing, but to say that would be to completely undercut what this book has to offer.
Satrapi tells her story through brief narration and elegant black and white drawings,... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

The Complete Persepolis: Now a Major Motion Picture
This is an excellent movie. I was moved and amused. I laughed and I cried. I actually bought copies for all my friends. I was so impressed I bought the graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi which was also excellent. Thank you Marjane. | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Embroideries is a wonderfully funny graphic novel detailing the romantic lives of women in Iran. Each woman's story spans just a few pages, but touching, amusing punchlines are delivered every time.

Marjane Satrapi, Chicken with Plums (Pantheon, 2006)
Satrapi's fourth book gives us biography instead of memoir this time-- the story of her great-uncle Nasser Ali Khan, a musician who decides to die after his wife breaks his favorite instrument. We are taken through the final eight days of... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

I ordered this book for my daughter, who's five, after reading Satrapi's Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood and Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return. The former I had to read for a campus reading program and found appreciation for the author's graphics and delivery.
My daughter really took to... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

I'm a French teacher, and I've used this book in my classes. The story is amazing and poignant. It chronicles the life of a young Marjane and the events that surround her life. The graphics are simple but emotional. The language is appropriate for an intermediate level French class. The students... more info | 5.0 / 5.0
