Persopolis 2 was a better time than the first book, but both were OK for me.  Historical, some comedy, real life emotions, and a quest for freedom.  I appreciate how Marjane speaks her mind and her family's acceptance of it.  Love grandma.  Overall, an informative enjoyable book series.  Glad to have read the books, even though I had no idea who author was prior to. Hope everyone gets to experience freedom to be their true authentic self.
