OLDER TEENS/ADULTS: City of Thieves by David Benioff
I am almost done reading City of Thieves by David Benioff for my high school book club group, LOL @ MHS meeting tomorrow. Here is my "six word book review":

"Funny moments, in between the horrors."

This is an interesting--although graphic and mature-- account of two young men on a strange "military mission" in Russia during World War II (after Germans have invaded.) The characters are very likeable as they alternatively banter about girls and life, and experience harrowing, deeply disturbing things that, unfortunately, are likely realistic facts of war.
