-- Posted by Vicodin at 11:02 pm on July 10, 2009 Before starting college in August I need to read Persepolis 2 (which I read is 2-3-4 in the US). Anywho. I need to know if I need to read number 1 to understand number 2. If so, I'll order number 1 as I already have number 2. Also, I can't sleep. -- Posted by cheesewiz at 11:02 pm on July 10, 2009 Not really. And, if anything, just pick up the movie. -- Posted by Vicodin at 11:04 pm on July 10, 2009 I'd rather read a book anytime over the movie. However, after reading the books, I will watch the movie. -- Posted by cheesewiz at 11:07 pm on July 10, 2009 Quote: from Vicodin at 11:04 pm on July 10, 2009 I'd rather read a book anytime over the movie. However, after reading the books, I will watch the movie. I only suggested the movie because it sounded like you didn't want to read the first book. I think the graphic novel is okay, but a little dry. The movie is a pretty good sum of it all.
