City of Thieves by David Benioff
4.0

This is a really enjoyable novel that also happens to contain a lot of horrible events, taking place as it does during the siege of Leningrad during WWII. It is funny and heartfelt, the dialogue is particularly crisp. Overall, it manages to take a ridiculous and awful situation and turn it into a somewhat unbelievable adventure between two new friends.
