While there are plenty of serious moments, there are a lot of funny moments. Loren scooped me on this one. She doesn't read a lot of comics, but read about it in some magazine and picked it up in the bookstore. She told me I should read it, so that's how I eventually did. It's more of a coming of age story than anything else, just with an interesting backdrop. I would read them before you see the film, only so you can appreciate the animation, and not be distracted by figuring out what's going on. I believe the American release is going to be English dubbed.Bob Flynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053411253123465715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130650256161013147.post-12687354014484554762007-09-19T19:01:00.000-04:002007-09-19T19:01:00.000-04:00I haven't read the Persepolis comic yet, because I...I haven't read the Persepolis comic yet, because I feel like I need to be in the right frame of mind to absorb it. It doesn't seem like a book you can breeze through. (Similar to Maus, which I also put off reading for years.) I guess I should read the book before seeing the film... or maybe I would enjoy the film more if I don't read the book first?John Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11086639143607218007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130650256161013147.post-35674529186258120662007-09-19T14:29:00.000-04:002007-09-19T14:29:00.000-04:00have you read the Sandman series?
