krism 's review for:

The Chosen by Chaim Potok
4.0

This is a good book but it's solemn and sad. It's about two Jewish teenage boys and their fathers at the end of WWII and the years after. One is Hasidic (the very conservative sect who adhere to special dress codes and speak Yiddish) and the other is more modern and a Zionist. The boys become friends and discuss religion, the war, the changing world, and the paths chosen for them in life.
