Such a lovely story. Chaim Potok has a way of writing about the intricacies of Jewish life that makes you feel like you're present in the ceremonies. Lots of historical reference points, paints a vivid picture of Brooklyn at the time. Great book, would definitely recommend.
Who knew I could ever be so interested in or relate so much to a simple story about two Jewish boys growing up in New York. Chiam Potok is a very talented author in my opinion. This book really made me think.
One of my absolute favorite books ever. Fantastic story and well-drawn characters.
I loved this book. I don't know why I identified with it, but I did and felt like I grew as a person from reading it. The memory of this book got me through law school, in a good way. I need to reread it so that I can reacquaint myself with it.
After being enthralled with Potok's book "My Name is Asher Lev," I decided I needed to read more by him. This book is about two boys and their fathers and their different ideas about how to live out their faith. I love this book so much I bought a copy. The movie adaptation isn't bad, but the book is better.

Pretty good book. It was really interesting most of the time, but there were some parts that were uninteresting to me and felt like they went of forever.
