Hostage by Guy Delisle
2.0
This is a 430 page graphic novel.
I read the first 100 pages quickly . The illustrations were excellent and grabbed my attention. Unfortunately the story became repetitive after that almost to the end. Maybe it was ment to make you feel that, the répétitives of the days, the loneliness and the boredom, since he was a hostage for 3 months and alone. But I had to page flip through most of the rest of the novel. Only the last 50 pages become more interesting when he escapes.
I would definitely try to read another graphic novel by him just to experience his illustration. But maybe a shorter one.
