Persepolis: The sorrow of a special time period

Persepolis is an excellent book. I like it because it shows us a specific time period of Iran, about a Iranian girl's life from a little girl's vision. I also like the writing style of the author, she shows us a girl's heart  during the huge change of her motherland, and it changes through the growth of the girl In this book, about the author's family is also great to read. It makes you feel warm after reading. 
The author of the book Persepolis Marjane is also the main character. The book is more like a autobiography about her childhood and teenage life , but in cartoon. She drew and publish first in France and use French, because she has lived in Pairs since she had left Iran. The book is also about Iran history which is about the special time period during Islamic revolution, and the Iranian people's life during that time. 
This is the first book that I have read which is an autobiography about the author's childhood and teenage life in cartoon. I like this because her words are pure, and she makes me remember about my childhood time. Her words in book also changes through her growth. The huge change about her motherland gave her precocity, and also gave her pain. I feel more happy for the author from the first of the book, before the Islamic country took power. It was the best experience in Marjane's life, I think. Things get worth day by day, and the sad stories happened all around her country. It also shows a the sorrow of a time period truly. She had to leave her motherland lran when she was only 14. Everyone can imagine how much experiences that Marjane has.
Although everything seems grey in her whole life, Marjane still have something to support her go ahead in a right way, and never give up. That is her family. She has a great family, and the history of her family is honorable. Her grandmother's father was the prince of the dynasty before the Shah. Her grandmother loved Marjane very much, and she made Marjane learn a lot of behaviors, habbits. She was more like a princess, she has her principle. Those things influence Marjane a lot. Marjane's parents are really goo, too. They have enlightened way to educate Marjane, and they also had good education, which is totally different between other Irian people. That is one of the reason that why Marjane's family anganist government a lot. It changes Marjane so much that she even can't stay in Iran.
Through all the points here, I cordially recommend the great book Persepolis. If you are interested in the deeply things about humanilties, the huge change of time period of a country and its people's life, this book can give you a great experience.
