Summary: Best book I have ever read
Review: Each of the rave articles below is accurate. This book is about many things: World War II era Judaism in Brooklyn, the love of fathers for their sons, the centrality and fragility of tradition and faith in the modern world, God's gift of friendship. Nothing else compares to this wonderful story.

Summary: This book makes you think about silence and seeing.
Review: I read this book in my sophomore language arts class. I was not very interested in Jewish religon but after reading this book I have decided that it was one of the best books we read this year. I recomend it to anyone, I also suggest when reading it to find out more about the Jewish culture and what some of the words mean, without that you will be lost.

Summary: Essential reading for the soul and not in a chicken soup way
Review: 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.

Summary: A wonderful story of the affect two boys have on each other.
Review: I just finished The Chosen, and it has to be one of the best books I have ever read. Both Danny and Reuven have their own special talent, and although their friendship is unlikely, it is extremely strong. For Danny, Reuven is a lifeline - someone he can talk with honestly. Danny also has a large effect on Reuven's development. Reuven experiences another world that he never had more than a glimpse of earlier. This story is touching and realistic. I would recommend it to anybody.

Summary: A new classic
Review: The Chosen is my single favorite book. After reading this book (which I couldn't put down) I was amazed at Chaim's writing style and how different the writing was than other fictional titles I've read. It's about two friends who when growing up a few blocks from each other lived in two very different worlds. You'll love this book. If you can't buy it check it out at the library!

Summary: it speaks to us all
Review: Simply put The Chosen speaks to all of us.
The story is of family loyalty, cultural conflict, love, and most importantly the strenght of a true friendship. What more can I say that hasn't been said? Just this...if you haven't read this novel please do because it is excellent and will draw you into a world and culture you may not know about(or want to know more about). What do you have to loose? If you have read story please reread it and try to find new and interesting ways to view the whole strory. Above all enjoy!!!
