Helpful Score: 1

This book is fabulous! I listened to it on audio, and the narrator, Ron Perlman, does a terrific job. You get the Russian and Jewish accents, and his delivery is pretty low-key and not overly emotional, which is perfect for the book. It's a bleak setting (Russia during the German siege of WWII) with not a lot of good things happening, but the author manages to make it a very charming story about friendship, sacrifice and coming of age with a dark comedy element. I absolutely loved it!
