Review: City of Thieves

City of Thieves City of Thieves by David Benioff
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Based on the author's grandfather's experience during the Second World War in Leningrad. A bit unbelievable, but actually everything about that time and place in history is unbelievable, so not so out-of-line. It's actually a weird combination of a coming-of-age story, love story, quixotic adventure, and grisly realism. It's weird to say this, but at the end it's a sweet story, although certainly not sweet in the middle.
