Book Reviews of The Chosen (Ballantine Reader's Circle)
Book Review: The Chosen is an extraordinary book.
Summary: 5 Stars
After recently viewing a public television special on Hasidic Jews, I found reading The Chosen to be a very special experience. The author depicts in a very sensitive manner the relationship between two teenagers who come from very different Jewish backgrounds. Also, Potok portrays beautifully the loving relationships between fathers and sons. He focuses on the pain parents and children must endure when children do not choose to follow the expectations of their parents. This is a wonderful coming of age book that I recommend for teenagers and adults alike.Book Review: UNFORGETABLE
Summary: 5 Stars
i read this some time ago, but since that time it always come on my mind again, I also tell my best friend to read it, and she liked it too, we spend some time together discussing it afterwards. This book also open my mind that there are many kinds of Jews, I always thought they are the same. and also about how strict their way of life, like the way Danny study and memorize the Talmuds , anyway, after reading this book, I always hope that I can find friends as good as Danny and Reuven tooBook Review: The Chosen is a page-turner that keeps you wanting for more!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Chosen tells a wonderful story about two Jewish boys that are reaching manhood. Danny is from a strict Jewish family, while Rueven is from a more liberal Jewish background. It is through an accident that these two become friends and form a bond that will last them forever. Danny is able to "choose" what he wants in life with the support of Rueven. This book will open up your mind and your soul into a world most of us are not accustomed to.Book Review: Essential reading for the soul and not in a chicken soup way
Summary: 5 Stars
I finished this book at 12:30 last night, my face wet with tears, and my heart thankful that I found this book. There is not enough fiction written about the emotions of men and boys. For this and a thousand other reasons, this book is jewel. It holds relevance for every level of existence and should not be missed; it is a very big piece of the puzzle. Also, It made me want to go schul every Saturday.
Book Review: for High School Student interested...
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book my freshman year of high school and I loved it. The only assigned reading book I've enjoyed this much so far. Then, I was happy to see it on a suggested summer reading list for the summer before my junior year, being very proud I'd already read it. So if you're in high school and looking for a book that's not too challenging but not easy and actually interesting, this is it.
