A review by santiagogonzalesheller
The Chosen by Chaim Potok

3.0

An interesting story of different Jewish sects intersecting in the friendship of two teenagers. The baseball beginning and hospital stay go on for way too long. There is much WWII history and founding of Israel is background and foreground. The language is very simplistic. This is the third coming of age book I have read recently where the two main characters excel in school. What happens to all of those average kids.
