DNA Double-Strand Break Repair Review

I'm looking for a good recent review of DNA double-strand break repair. The review should focus on more than just humans and mammals, but it shouldn't be on just yeast either. Ideally, it would show schematics of different ways to repair and resolve double-strand (and, possibly, single-strand) breaks. I don't want something that just lists the known gene products involved in different repair mechanisms. And it should be from the last couple of years.

If anyone reading this blog knows about this area of research, please lend a hand. To provide some incentive, the person who suggests the best review (provided any good ones get nominated) wins the opportunity to write a guest post on evolgen (content restrictions apply). I know it's a craptacular prize, but I can't really offer you much else.
