City of Thieves
by David Benioff
I loved City of Thieves by David Benioff. In the beginning of the novel, Benioff leads us to believe that this is the story of his grandfather's experience in Leningrad during WWII. The description of Lev and Kolya's mission to obtain a dozen eggs is in my first post. This is an amazing coming of age story for Lev. It tells the story of a friendship bonded over this mission. It's also a love story. And, while it was definitely not a girly story, what with the violence and the talk of sex, in the end it was still incredibly touching. And, it made me cry. I cry easily at television shows and movies, but not so easily at books. Though it is sad to think of the things that so many lived through in WWII, I truly hope the majority of this story is true because I loved it so much.
