megdom 's review for:

City of Thieves by David Benioff

3.0

---

This is a page turner, with two unlikely characters thrown together in curious, and often horrifying, adventure during the Nazi siege of Leningrad. It kept me awake in my tent at night. It ends with a cinematic flourish, which seemed a bit trite, but hey, after the brutal path to get there, it was a small respite.
