Hostage by Guy Delisle

4.0

In stories of captivity, one of my unanswered questions is mental stability. How do maintain your mental state while kept in one room for months on end, deprived of your basic human needs? Hostage is a simple story that shows how Christophe André battles the monotony and silence during his kidnapping. With simple coloring and storytelling, Guy Delisle depicts isolation through separated panels, forcing the reader in Christophe's shoes.

While there's not much explanation for the hostage situation, the graphic novel manages to show uncertainty and dread.
