Amazing book

I have been very lazy to write recently, but I am reading a book that I should talk about it.
A while a go my American co-worker who reads a lot asked me if I had read
Persepolis the biography book written by an Iranian woman. I had not read the book and she lent it to me. It was amazing, the writer starts from when she was a 10-year-old girl and revolution happened (I was five at that time) in Iran and then how war started and she ended up leaving Iran to go to Austria. The second book Persepolis 2 (Which came out on Sep 1st this year) is about her life in Austria and how she ended up coming back to Iran and finally moved to France.

The Amazing thing about this book is, it is written simply with funny pictures, actually pictures are very interesting and show how talented she is. I could relate to it a lot. All places she talks about are real places that I have been. The book has become so popular and has had very good reviews. Another amazing thing about this writer is that she is so honest and brave at the same time, she talks about all her personal private experiences in the book, some thing that at least very few Iranian Would do! Culturally we are always very concern about what people say about us and what people think about us! Most of us especially women do not talk about their sex experiences before marriage at least not in a book or article. We usually hide our mistakes. This book is sort of a cultural revolution to me. By the way the writer's name is Marjan Satrapi and the original book is written in French.
