City of Thieves Bewertungen

The book's eight stories are written with both a literary writer's care and a film writer's instinct for courting his readers or viewers. He hooks them, reels them in and does his best to make them happy to be in the boat with him -- until he lets them go a few hours later * USA Today *
The latest master of the zippy, punchy, knee-to-the-groin story is David Benioff . . . Wonderful collection * Independent on Sunday *
Benioff is particularly good at using the compressed lives of lonely individuals to convey something of an incomprehensible world beyond. * Metro *
'Beautifully paced and seemingly effortless, these stories display all of David Benioff's prodigious gifts as a writer: his sly wit and knowingness, his acute social observation and his understanding of loss and longing, and also the wide range of territory he has made his own' * Maile Meloy *
'The new book from feted screenwriter David Benioff . . . has all the twists of a great movie' * Courier Mail, Brisbane *
