lorinlee 's review for:
City of Thieves
by David Benioff
Leningrad is under seige by the Naizs and conditions are horrendous. A teenager and a Red Army deserter are arrested. To escape death they accept an odd task: find a dozen eggs for the Colonel's daughter's wedding. Lev and Kolya set off, narrowly escape a cannibal couple and fall in with partisans who aim to execute a vicious German officer. At times the novel reminded me of Catch 22, and then it would veer in dangerous directions illustrating the treatment of civilians. Its a nicely paced book with memorable characters.
