firstwords 's review for:

City of Thieves by David Benioff
3.0

You can tell this guy was behind the movie 25th Hour and the Game of Thrones screenwriting. This reads like a movie - not an insult. It moves very quickly, and avoids long, drawn-out introspection, instead letting the reader draw conclusions. Perhaps because of his background, the writing is very brief, not dwelling on any one thing.

I would be very surprised if this was not indeed made into a movie someday. It appears to be written to be turned into a screenplay - again, not an insult.
