Reading Group guide questions for //Mister Pip//

A critical review of the novel

//from Ms. Hoy: Perspepolis**: for November 17**//
//I loved this! What a great insight into another culture. We could relate to Marji and still see the horrors of her life.//

//This is from "She is too fond of books..." website (http://www.sheistoofondofbooks.com/2010/01/14/book-review-persepolis-by-marjane-satrapi/) Lots of good info on this site about the book; a nice review://

//"////Persepolis//, the graphic memoir, takes its title from Persepolis, the ancient capital of the Persian Empire, located in modern-day Iran. Satrapi connects her “never forget” statement by naming her memoir for the city in ruins, perhaps hoping for a phoenix-rising-from-the-ashes in Iran’s future.... Satrapi has written a sequel, //Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return// (Pantheon paperback 2005), which follows her time in Vienna and her return to Tehran. I plan to read this to see how she fares in both cities, with relative freedom, then once again under the regime. "

//From Ms. HOY: Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society:// What a cute book! Loved the story, and made me do some research about Guernsey! I want to go there.

===//We Were the Mulvaneys// I started crying about 3/4s of the way through. How about you? I was especially taken with the fact that they seemed so happy and together... what happened? Could it happen to my family? I wondered as I was reading. Plus I loved the setting. Here's a link to the READING GROUP GUIDE for this book.===
