Persepolis

Beginning the reading process of Persepolis, being the first graphic novel I've ever read, I was nervous. I didn't think the pannels would be as inticing and easily readable as they are. I'm finding that the structure of this literature compared to normal books is really working. The shortness of the pannels create a witty humor, and at some points I find myself laughing out loud. The artwork is also phenomenal. It's beautiful to see exactly what the author wants you to see-- this is impossible with books because authors can only use their words. I also love the perspective of Persepolis, it is one similar to Sutton Pie Safe, where the child isn't fully aware of the whole picture. I love her thoughts and the way she views life. It's genuine and simplistic, while being fully intriguing. I can't wait to continue reading.
