ssamanthagannaway 's review for:
City of Thieves
by David Benioff
This book was very decadent.
This would have been an excellent and intriguing story (how often do you see a WW2 novel set in Leningrad?!) had it not been so vulgar. I understand sex sells but there is no need to have descriptive smut on nearly every page. The majority of it was unnecessary and quite frankly unrealistic. What person is honestly thinking about sex while they’re half starved and the Germans are bombing their city?
That chess scene at the end was something else though.
