pErSePoLiS
So we just started reading Persepolis for college lit. I have never read a graphic novel before, but i love reading the comics in the newspaper! I really like it so far and it is fun to read. I like looking at the pictures, and it is nice because it can be a fast read if you want it to, or if you take time to really look at the pictures it can make it more interesting. I like that you can also see what the characters look like and have the image in your head. although, sometimes imagining the characters is half the fun! i am really looking forward to reading more of this book and seeing what happens during the revolution.

I have never actually read a graphic novel either, but for being the first time, I think Persepolis was the perfect book for all of us. I couldn't put it down, so I actually already finished it...but I agree with you that imagining the characters is always the best part of the book. You will definitely like the rest of the book!
ReplyDeleteI actually don't much like reading graphic novels. I agree that imagining the characters is one of the best parts of the books, but I like picturing them on my own, without pictures. The author can give all the interesting details, but it's ultimately up to the reader to create the world in their heads. You can create whatever world you want. This is part of the beauty of other novels, and it's something you can't do with graphic novels.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I'm not very far yet, but so far I really like this graphic novel. I wasn't sure if I was going to like that kind of reading, so I was sort of surprised. I also really like the pace of it.
