Reviews: Effi Ben-Avraham, "Galei Tsahal" Radio: "In his maiden novel, Ohad Rosen skillfully and authentically paints the figure of a young combat commander, dedicated to the fate of his men in battle while he himself takes his first steps in the romantic world. The sense of uncertainty and confusion which pervades the story is characteristic of the days of the second Lebanon war. It is against this backdrop that the protagonist's struggle with his love of country, of the men under his command and of a young lover who torments him plays out. This is a sensitive and touching journey into adulthood of an extraordinary Israeli young man - I can hardly hold my breath for the cinematic version."
