I haven't read this book in awhile and I'm glad I got back into it. I forgot how good the story was. For it only being a man sitting alone in a room the story is very intriguing.

When I first started reading hostage I was hooked by the first few pages. In the book, the protagonist gets kidnapped on page two. And right before he talks about how "for the first time, [he] was alone sleeping in the annex"(Delisle 12). That made me wonder because maybe it was planned that he was alone in the building that night. Maybe his company planned for him to get kidnaped.

The protagonist starts to talk to himself and says, "Oh man! What are you doing? You're locked to a radiator and listen to you! "Goodnight"'(Delisle 97).

The protagonist gets moved to a new location and while there he says, "This can't go on forever. A week, maximum"(Delisle 52).

The protagonist just got kidnapped in the book and while he is being held at gun point he thinks, What are they going to do o me? I panicked. My imagination ran wild(Delisle 21).
