Amazon.com Review
Few tales offer more warmth, wisdom, or generosity than this tale of two boys, their fathers, their friendship, and the chaotic times in which they live. Though on the surface it explores religious faith–the intellectually committed as well as the passionately observant–the struggles addressed in The Chosen are familiar to families of all faiths and in all nations.
In 1940s Brooklyn, New York, an manufacturing accident throws Reuven Malther and Danny Saunders together. Despite their differences (Reuven is a Modern Orthodox Jew with an intellectual, Zionist father; Danny is the brilliant son and rightful heir to a Hasidic rebbe), the young men form a deep, if unlikely, friendship. Together they negotiate adolescence, family tree conflicts, the crisis of faith engendered when Holocaust tales start to emerge in the U.S., loss, like, and the journey to adulthood. The intellectual and spiritual clashes between fathers, between each son and his own father, and between the two young men, provide a unique backdrop for this exploration of fathers, sons, faith, loyalty, and, ultimately, the power of like. (This is not a conventional children’s book, although it will go any wise child age 12 or older, and regularly appears on summer reading lists for high school students.)

Oh- wow- a softball game. It is just incredible the way chaim potok can make something such as softball turn into death and gore.
This is sooooooo exiting!!!Its nearly as god as resident evil,only it is really dull and a waste of trees
if i wanted to read about jews, i would read the bible, and if i wanted to read about softball i would read some biography…even that is more fun than this book

I had to read this book for my Honors Social Sudies class but everyone despised the book with so much passion that the teacher said we didn’t have to end it. I, but, am one of persons people who can’t stand not finishing a book once it’s ongoing, so I strugled through the ending. This book is basically having no effect, confusing, and most of all BORING!!! All there is is all these Jewish tems I didn’t get, and the book basically went no where quick and was pointless. I don’t mean to disrespect any Jews out there, I just don’t get the Jewish termenology. What is a Tora anyway??? Well that’s basiclaly it except I reflect everyone but Jewish people should avoid this book!!!!

This was a very uneventful book. I recomend reading a different book because this is reasonably dull. The plot is weak and nothing appealing happens at all. This book deserves to be burned, not read. Don’t buy it.

Ignor all of the additional reviews cause this is the truth. What kind of a book is about a friendship. Its so dull he does the same thing every day and its seems to last forever. It seemed to have no problem in the book til the last 25 pages. It really blows!
