Bought second hand as I recognised Benioff's names as one of the showrunners of Game of Thrones, which despite the disappointment of the last series was brilliant TV. It also turned out he wrote the script for Wolverine, which we coincidentally also watched this weekend, as Libby is working her way through the X-Men movies. The book was really enjoyable, a fictionalised account of the deprivations Benioff's grandfather experienced during the Siege of Leningrad. How much is fictionalised I don't know, but the tale of two ragamuffin chancers given a second chance to save their skins if they can perform an impossible quest and find two dozen eggs in starving, siege-ridden Leningrad was super. Would make a great TV series too. . .
