As Iran enters another important period of change...I think this is particularly good time to pick up Persepolis. Satrapi's deceptively simple, almost whimsical drawings belie the seriousness and rich complexity of her story - but its also very funny too
Emma Watson, Our Shared Shelf
A revelation...you will remember it for a very long time
Mark Haddon
Persepolis is a stylish, clever and moving weapon of mass destruction
David Jenkins, Sunday Telegraph
The magic of Marjane Satrapi's work is that it can condense a whole country's tragedy into one poignant, funny scene after another
Natasha Walter, Independent on Sunday
I cannot praise enough Marjane Satrapi's moving account of growing up as a spirited young girl in revolutionary and war-time Iran. Persepolis is disarming and often humorous but ultimately it is shattering
Joe Sacco
A tour de force to rival Maus
The Times
An adult and difficult story but [accompanied by] very simple black and white illustrations, comic book style, and it is exceptionally powerful...show the amazing power and depth that can come from a literary story shown through words and images
