City of Thieves - David Benioff 23
This book is an amazing story of two young men Lev Beniov who is arrested for looting during the Nazi seige in Lenigrad and Kolya, who is a charming deserter. The two are literally thrown together in a dark jail cell one night and an wonderful friendship begins. Instead of being executed the two are sent by the general on a crazy and near impossible mission. Times are so difficult for the people of Leningrad, they are cold, hungry and caught in the middle of the war. The journey that these two boys embark upon is terribly dangerous yet the friendship that develops is endearing to watch unfold and during those times of uncertaintly they were able to bring some humor and comfort to one another. I couldn’t put this book down and although at times it was difficult to read about how people lived and tried to survive during those times, I wanted to be with these boys to see how they handled each situation/obstacle that came their way. I higly recommend this book.

I keep looking at this book every time I go to Target. I will have to break down and buy it the next time I’m in there!
A very nice review. Next time I’m out I’ll bye the book and let you know what I think of it. Thank You.
This book is amazing. Rarely ever do I read a book in a single weekend, but I finished this book in about 3 days. It is very well written. It was hard to put down, and the few times I did stop reading, I was constantly thinking about the book.
