The Chosen by Chaim Potok
3.5
emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

gentle, introspective and deceptively simple-worded.  beautiful friendship between two main characters. slightly slow paced, and feel very confused about the ending. taught me a lot about orthodox jews in america. characters are very well written, but this is very much a book about people not plot, because not a lot happens.
