I found the second half of the book to be very good. Marjane was able to truely grow up as she experienced independence and a progression into woman hood away from her parents in Vienna. She moved and lived in many apartments and met many interesting people along the way. At times she kept true to herself, but at times esecially with her boy friends and punk friends she allowed them to change her. Of course this had had put her to a low place where she had no one to love and no place to live. In a way it is good she got to experience the real world and learn from her mistakes. It talked her more about herself and how to perceive this differently.
Perhaps the most ground breaking moment for her was the very end, were she lets go of the things that would keep her from enjoying a good life and becoming the woman she is now. She put aside the idea of living up to the expectations of others, esepcially the Iran government and her husband. She even had let go of the guilt that she held for having lived a not as hard life in Vienna compared to those who stood like her parents. Overral I enjoyed reading about the life of Marjane.
