The Chosen by Chaim Potok
4.0
This book is a hard one to describe.Every time I've attempted, my friends have to told me it sounds boring, when in fact this book held my attention quite well. I think the relationships make the book, and there are other added bonuses along the way- learning about Judaism and World War II from an American Jewish perspective. Each affects your main characters, which increases your interest on these subjects.
Hearing about the hopes the characters had for zionism in that perspective was a little heart wrenching in the context that violence continues today in Palestine/Israel.
The story is so well written and the human connection so believable that even though I dislike baseball, I thoroughly enjoyed the first few chapters centered around baseball.
