The Chosen by Chaim Potok
3.0
The kind of classic that is well written, powerful, and engaging, but still doesn't quite manage to invest me emotionally. I think if it had been longer, it would have been my kind of book. If the emotions hadn't been so skimmed over until their inevitable implosion, the story might have gripped me more. I cared about Danny, and wanted to care more, but I feel like I never knew him well enough to know HOW to care.
There are a lot of classics/highly praised literary fiction novels like that, and to be fair, The Chosen held my attention much more and had me WANTING more than most of them ever do. I just didn't connect with it on an emotional level.
