Satisfied with the ending. Learned so much about Iranian history and culture from Marji Satrapi. Made me appreciate the civil liberties I enjoy in this day and age. Two thumbs up.

Marji Satrapi after visiting her friend Kia who lost an arm and a leg fighting during a war in Iran: "We can only feel sorry for ourselves when our misfortunes are still supportable... once this limit is crossed, the only way to bear the unbearable is to laugh at it."

Chapter 17. Still haven't decided if this is inspiring or depressing. Definitely an eye-opener to the atrocities of war in Iran.
