NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Wise, funny, and heartbreaking, Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi's acclaimed graphic memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution.

"A wholly original achievement.... Satrapi evokes herself and her schoolmates coming of age in a world of protests and disappearances.... A stark, shocking impact." --The New York Times: "The 50 Best Memoirs of the Past 50 Years"

One of the New York Times's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century

In powerful black-and-white comic strip images, Satrapi tells the coming-of-age story of her life in Tehran from ages six to fourteen, years that saw the overthrow of the Shah's regime, the triumph of the Islamic Revolution, and the devastating effects of war with Iraq. The intelligent and outspoken only child of committed Marxists and the great-granddaughter of one of Iran's last emperors, Marjane bears witness to a childhood uniquely entwined with the history of her country.

Persepolis paints an unforgettable portrait of daily life in Iran and of the bewildering contradictions between home life and public life. Marjane's child's-eye view of dethroned emperors, state-sanctioned whippings, and heroes of the revolution allows us to learn as she does the history of this fascinating country and of her own extraordinary family. Intensely personal, profoundly political, and wholly original, Persepolis is at once a story of growing up and a reminder of the human cost of war and political repression. It shows how we carry on, with laughter and tears, in the face of absurdity. And, finally, it introduces us to an irresistible little girl with whom we cannot help but fall in love.

Worst watch I have ever purchased!
Color: 2858-Silver Gold-Black Face
The rods in between in each link aren’t solid rods at all! They’re made up of almost long, thin staples that bend and break EXTREMELY easily. Taking them off is incredibly difficult to begin with! I’ve removed links on hundreds of watches, it’s not my first rodeo, it has never been this ridiculously difficult due to extremely cheap materials. I wish I could give this a negative 100, never seen a cheaper watch. It’s extremely light and looks nothing like the picture either. Seriously, don’t waste your time. It’s the worst, cheapest watch you can buy. I shouldn’t expect better from Amazon.

Nice looking but horrible clasp design
Color: 2858-All Black-Black Gold
Nice watch. The only bad thing is the clasps on the wrist band is horrible. One little bump and it opens up and then you have to try to catch the watch in case it completely falls off. I'd recommend only buying this if you are willing to change the wristband out otherwise half the time you will be fighting it from opening up and slipping off.

Best watch for 40 bucks
Color: Blue Face/Silver Strap, Color: Blue Face/Silver Strap
Works well, tells time, bang for your buck. People are complaining about esthetics and breaking after a while. You're spending 40 bucks on a watch what do you expect? Cmon. Its good for the price buy this one if you want something cheap, functional, and stylish.
