At Smarter.com, we aim to ensure we give you the most sound buying advice possible. With our 'Cumulative Product Rating' system, in order for a product to receive a rating score, it must have a minimum number of ratings to qualify.
This system is not intended to diminish the value of products with a low number of ratings and reviews, they're great, and hopefully very helpful, but if you want our advice, we want to make sure that the product you're thinking of buying has been rated and reviewed by enough shoppers like you to be a valuable indicator of product quality.

Persepolis
The Complete Persepolis: Now a Major Motion Picture

 5.00/5 |
| From: Amazon Posted: Sep 07, 2008 Type: User Review |
Good for mainstream and comic veterans alike
Persepolis as a whole is part of a not-so-new wave of comics that bring true, accessible life stories into the format of comics/sequential art. It seems that now, when I talk to "serious literature" people about comics, they immediately mention...

A wonderful book about angst in Iran.
What a fantastic graphic novel! If you normally don't read graphic novels (or comic books), don't be afraid, the pictures won't hurt you and the stories are only enhanced by this format. Buy the box set because the first book will only leave you...

Brilliant and moving work!
I loved every minute reading this book. Being a comic or graphic novel, whichever one prefers, I was both invested in the life of Marjane Satrapi as well as the illustrations. The drawings really brought the whole story to life with her incredible...

Charming, riveting and important
I read these books consecutively - having bought them as a box set - and I really enjoyed them. It gives us a genuinely intimate portrait of what life was like growing up in Iran, first under the Shah's right-wing dictatorship, then during the...

Disappointingly light and schematic
I was really expecting the film that came out of this book and I have finally seen it. It is one of the greatest disappointments I have lived in a movie-theater for quite a while, all the more because I was expecting a lot from it. But I should...

Persepolis boxed set
I have read several books about women's lives in Iran. Marjane Satrapi expresses so much with a few words and her amazing drawings. I was amazed at the understanding that she conveys though her "diary". I would recommend this set of boxes to...

Honesty and Brilliance
Of the 4 Satrapi Books I have read these two are by far her best. They truly should be read together. I love her blunt honesty which is a rare trait in the community, and she draws her inspiration from the best of the best in the business (Art...
