This was a quick, fun read (although I hesitate to use the word 'fun' given the horrific, violent gory details)that made me want to read an historical account of the siege of Leningrad. As another reviewer indicated, you could almost envision the feature film as you read the book, given all the clever repartee in moments of peril, that the characters had very little depth, and that some things tied up a little too nicely in the end. However, if your goal in reading this book is to understand an historical account of this time, than this is not the book for you. If your goal is to be transported by an unlikely tale, to enjoy a riveting, gripping story and to looking forward to stolen moments to read to find out what happens next, read it for the pure entertainment value. Junk food, if you will, but delicious and enjoyable nonetheless.

"City of Thieves: A Novel" Overview
From the critically acclaimed author of The 25th Hour, a captivating novel about war, courage, survival—and a remarkable friendship that ripples across a lifetime.
During the Nazis’ brutal siege of Leningrad, Lev Beniov is arrested for looting and thrown into the same cell as a handsome deserter named Kolya. Instead of being executed, Lev and Kolya are given a shot at saving their own lives by complying with an outrageous directive: secure a dozen eggs for a powerful Soviet colonel to use in his daughter’s wedding cake. In a city cut off from all supplies and suffering unbelievable deprivation, Lev and Kolya embark on a hunt through the dire lawlessness of Leningrad and behind enemy lines to find the impossible.
By turns insightful and funny, thrilling and terrifying, City of Thieves is a gripping, cinematic World War II adventure and an intimate coming-of-age story with an utterly contemporary feel for how boys become men.
