I just finished reading Chaim Potok's "The Chosen". It was recommended by a friend and I was a little wary upon seeing the bland cover. However, I was wrong. It was fascinating and very well written. Potok shows us a world of the Jew and the stark contrasts between Hasidic and non-Hadsidic Judaism. But he interweaves his story and facts in such a way that keeps the reader interested and wanting to know more about the unlikely friendship between Reuven and Danny. I truly felt as if I was taking a journey into an unknown world, feeling that I myself knew the characters on a personal level. What an amazing read!
