I enjoyed part two a lot more than part one, but like part one, part two just flies by. So much life and ground is covered, and I think I would have loved to spend more time in the world, but I also see how this medium is best for a period in time where it’s best to forget than to relive.

Shockingly enough, this book picks up where Persepolis left off. I didn't enjoy 2 as much as the original but it was still a really good read.

It gets more harrowing: there's a downfall, a dawn of an artist and yes, revolution. I've even learn some lessons of communism like curbing our materialistic desires, comraderie, etc. I really like the moments that showed aspect-to-aspect art mostly when there's action and dialogues turn off. I liked how the characters cling to their sense of humour no matter how darker it gets.
