Yeah I've seen it been done before. I've seen the beginning of a chapter in first person to set up the story, and then the rest switch to third. I can't give you a step by step guide, but I can point you to a book that did it well. Its called, The Book thief by Markus Zusak. Check it out if you want to see how it's done.
Uh.. no idea? It was given to me a few years ago by an old coworker; I've only just (finally) pulled it out of my "to read" pile.
The last book that made me cry was the end of The Book Thief. Made all the more awkward by the fact that I finished reading it while taking a bath.
I liked Diaz's book and couldn't care less why someone else wouldn't. A person's tastes are his own. Honestly, if a person doesn't like a work of art, really he's only impoverishing himself, right? Doesn't mean he's right or wrong; just means he wasn't able to enrich his own life through it.
Cap you may want to read The Book Thief. I found it to be one of the most moving books I've ever read.

That was a great book. I personally didn't like the book I'm about to recommend all that much but I think I may be in the minority. It is set in the same timeframe, but in Germany and has some similar themes to City of Thieves. Also based on a true story, I believe. The Book Thief https://www.amazon.com/dp/0375842209/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_e1evvb09XRVQD https://www.amazon.com/dp/0375842209/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_e1evvb09XRVQD
Okay so I have two recommendations:
The Book Thief: http://www.amazon.com/Book-Thief-Markus-Zusak/dp/0375842209/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1302109748&sr=8-1" is I think technically a kids book, and it's about a girl in Nazi Germany, so offhand it might not sound like it's for you BUT it's narrated by Death and his timing is amazing. Even if sometimes the punchlines are more like a punch to the gut.
And Tanya Huff has some great, unique fantasy. I'd start with[Sing the Four Quarters: http://www.amazon.com/Sing-Four-Quarters-Tanya-Huff/dp/0886776287/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1302109846&sr=8-1, where certain special people can sing to control the four elements, and everyone is snarky and different and fun to be around. Or... at least fun to read about.
No, I mean The Book Thief.

When Death has a story to tell, you listen.
It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still.
Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living outside of Munich, who scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement.
In superbly crafted writing that burns with intensity, award-winning author Markus Zusak, author of I Am the Messenger, has given us one of the most enduring stories of our time.
The Book Thief is the novel I always recommend. It will likely make you cry and it will stick with you.
