Persepolis is one of those books that are definitely better than its movie. A way to describe that to most people today is the difference between the twilight books and movies. Most people who have read that book say that the book is way better than the movie. Although I didn't think the movie was that bad, I definitely noticed that there were some details left out of the movie probably because they needed to make it shorter.
Marjane is portrayed really well in the comic as well as the movie. The life struggle she has is shown in more detail in the book than in the movie. One thing that I noticed and thought should have been more emphasized on was the relationship between Reza and Marjane. It seemed though that in the movie, they didn't really show the struggles in there relationship and why Marjane actually broke things off with him. All it showed in the movie was basically her saying, "goodbye". This was a big turn off from the movie and gave the book some more bonus points. Overall I think books always have those extra details that the movies don't and this is what makes them so much better.
