I really appreciated reading Guy Delisle's graphic work recounting the months that aid worker Christophe André spent in captivity in Chechnya. Delisle traps the reader in small bleak panels that change little from page to page as he rolls out the narrative of André's thinking as he survives day to day in a world with little information, much deprivation and almost no hope for a positive conclusion. I couldn't put this book down until I had completed the journey with him.

Loved the colors the Greys n blues help u feel the monotony . They did a good job of conveying that tedium without boring the reader. Appropriately sparse I loved this ! ! !

الكتاب عن اختطاف فرنسي تابع لمنظمة أطباء بلا حدود، في مهمة في الشيشان وبقائه مربوط بسلسة بذراعه في غرفة طوال فترة اختطافه التي حوالي 4 شهور.

متابعة قراءة الكتاب وحديث كريستوفر الذاتي وهو لا يعلم ما مصيره، ولا يستطيع الحركة داخل حتى نطاق حجرة احتجازه، أو حتى اختيار وضعية نومه، ليس سهلا.

Loved the color palette and art style, the feeling of captivity displayed throughout the graphic novel was palpable.
