mianicoson17 's review for:

My Name Is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok
4.75
challenging emotional tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

every time i finish a chaim potok i'm left in awe. (and for some reason i always finish them in school, so the students around me definitely get a show out of my emotions and reactions after finishing, lol). this book was incredible. 

also, i wonder if jandy nelson has ever read this and if it inspired her in parts of IGYTS- because jacob kahn was totally guillermo and they made statues out of the sand and the fact asher paints in his head... come on, jandy im onto you.
