Review:
Soon after reading Perspolis, I immediately felt the need to know what happened next to Satrapi. In Persepolis 2, she continues her fascinating story fleeing fundamentalism and the war with Iraq to begin a new life in Vienna. After four years in Vienna, I was so grateful to find out just what happened to Satrapi and how she tries to maintain a "normal" life in her old country. It was a struggle as usual, where she paints an honest portrait of her trials and tribulations, in a land she never really seems to enjoy. After I read both books, I ran out and rented the movie and loved it. The story seemed to really come to life on screen and is definitely worth seeing.
