A review by 3rdtimelucky
The Chosen by Chaim Potok

5.0

this was so gay i know everyone says that about everything but egaddd david and jonathan if saul was a hasid. his writing style is SO plain but there were these insanely evocative moments like i was there. this book is about everything, but it worked, my mouth was hanging open sometimes to imagine what it was like to live through this period. I think My Name is Asher Lev is better written but the sheer pathos of this is crazy. i love you conflicted tormented grieving broken old hasidic men in chaim potok books <333
