Summary: Boring, boring, boring, and boring some more
Review: Although this book's story moves along well, it is pointless. I found reading this book a task instead of fun. I should have picked a shorter book as to not waste my time on this.

Summary: Pretty good for a school summer reading book
Review: A lot of my friends had told me to read The Chosen but I wasn't for sure if i wanted to. I decided to and found it to be pretty good. It was a little confusing because I didn't understand the Jewish terminology, but my friend who's Jewish explained some of them to me. But other than the long descriptive passages, this book was very entertaining and interesting.

Summary: A good book...I recommend it
Review: I probably wouldn't have read this book if it wasn't required reading for school because at first glance it seemed like a boring book, but I really ended up enjoying it. The vocabulary and culture differences were difficult to understand at first, but I got used to it. I have to admit, there were some parts of the book that almost put me to sleep, but in the end it turned out to be a good plot and I really liked the story. I also like the fact that during the entire book, the author sneaks in little turning points and events happening in the war at that time so that you can relate the story to history.

Summary: This is a boring an difficult book to read.
Review: Although it has many lessons to teach people about, it is long and filled with too much description. Any young reader is destined to fall asleep while reading it. If you are not compelled to read it you should not because you probably wont make it through it.

Summary: A great book that rejuvinates your soul.
Review: This book was very good in a sense of enjoyment. You learn a great deal about how important it is to know yourself and how you really shouldn't judge anyone before you see their side.

Summary: A real Hasid responds to the book...
Review: The main thing I want to add to the reviews here is that there really is no custom to raise a child "in silence" as Reb Saunders does with his son in the book. This was a literary device used by Potok for the sake of his story. In real life, Hasidic fathers and sons interact with each other outside of study classes, too. For those of you who find the use of Yiddish and Hebrew words a bit off-putting, or the details of a strange (to you) culture boring, I want to say, please keep reading. Learning about somebody else's culture is always a brain-stretcher, but in this case, it is well worth it. The seemingly "extraneous" details in the beginnig of the book all come together in the end. And you will be very much enriched by the experience.

Summary: Intresting Story
Review: I probably would not have read it if I haven't had to read it for school. But after I got over the extremly boring beginning (apx. 180 pages of 270) the book began to really be good. If you are looking for even a hint of action look somewhere else, as this book can be extremly boring for thrill seekers. I encourage current readers to read until pg. 200 before you decide wether the book is boring or not. Although I wouldn't nominate it for any awards, it is a book I would keep around for a rainy day.
