The Chosen

By Chaim Potok..recommended reading for 10th grade AP class, and I was told to read it and THE PROMISE...so here I am finishing this book. All of my Judaic studies background helped prepare me for a lengthy discussion between Hasidic Jews and orthodox Jews...very fascinating. It is also about the friendship between two boys...and that has its ups and downs. It also addresses differences in people and how people cope with those differences, both in good ways and bad.
