i liked the story against the background of tel-aviv, and the washes of the artwork. the colors were lovely and a few simple lines said a lot about the characters. the story was interesting, but not gripping. maybe it's because i don't understand estranged families - i never felt like i sympathized at all with the main character.

What an odd little book. “Exit Wounds” is the story of a suicide bombing in Israel, an unidentified body, mismatched relationships, and love stories that make you go eewwwwww. It’s not the most exciting artwork, but it’s effective.

love Rutus illustration style. I find her stories about contemporary culture in Israel fascinating

Rutu modan is one o the best out there fr. I almost wanna call her art cinematic cuz she chooses these great angles and stuff and I feel like I wanna pause the movie but then it’s not a movie!!! Also I’ve noticed in graphic novels not unlike in plays it can get a sec to get used to the dialogue. In both there’s something artificial and U have to get over the hump of being aware that these are just actors on a stage or drawings with speech balloons before u accept these as just ppl talking. But not so with Rutu! Somehow just has a gift for Super naturalistic dialogue and I’m in right away! Nice!

I got a sunburn while reading this book. I was so distracted by the thrill of the search that I forgot to re-apply sunscreen. I suppose it's fitting considering the arid climate of the book. This really says nothing about the book, but it was pretty good, nothing spectacular, cute but ambiguous drawings, mystery story.

Fascinating read. Distinct art and coloring style lends a surrealness to this story. Ends unresolved in a satisfying way.
