Overall, I feel that this book was much better written as a graphic novel than in all prose. The way in which Satrapi was able to express the effects her life had on who she turned out to be was shown much more clearly through her interesting graphics. Much of her imagery offered more insight into her life than the words.
The life she led was difficult and a lot of what she described seems impossible to have happened--for not all of that could have happened to one person, especially all of the luck--or lack there of--that she had. A lot of the hardships she had surprised me, and many of her actions as well. Marji appears to be one way in her head but a lot of what she does displays how much she still has to learn in her life.
