This was was a captivating WWII story that followed two Russians on an life or death expedition for a dozen eggs behind enemy lines. Short and sweet, really enjoyed the flow of this story. The characters were witty and kept a light hearted tone despite circumstances.
"Calm yourself, my morbid little Israelite. I won't let the bad men get you."
There was nothing about this book that I couldn't love; the main characters, the plot, the pace, the writing -- it was all fantastic. I was hooked from the first sentence. I think what stands out most to me is the writing, because I was so unaware that I was reading. The words flow effortlessly. They are smooth and descriptive. I was not reading so much as I was mentally seeing the story play out like a movie. I could see, hear, and feel the emotions, events, environment, and the characters. David Benioff is an amazing writer and storyteller. I look forward to reading more from this author.
