City of Thieves: A Novel by David Benioff
If you like Hogan's Heroes, this is a great story--it's at least mostly true, it sounds like it was written from a grandfather's story, some details may have been added in that were not shared. It did an amazing job of mentioning the horrors of war, while still keeping things lighthearted and a good pace for the story.
Gorgeous, evocative, precise writing. And a hell of a great story.
Great read, a story that just transports you to a totally different place and time. It gave me a new perspective on the siege of Leningrad, something I had only read about in dry history textbooks..
