The Chosen

This was an eye opener book for me.  It showed me the customs and much of the history of the Jewish faith.  I think an older person would get a lot more out of it, but it was still very good.  A very moving book.  Emily A.
Rating: ***1/2

A good book that I really enjoyed.  Clearly the author knows a lot, or has thoroughly researched the subject.  The characters are well done.  The only thing I didn't like was how sometimes the descriptions were too long, but it might seem that way to me only because of my age.
Rating: ****

I really think that this book was boring and not exciting at all.  So if you are like me do not read it!  And it was pretty long (271 pages).  Kim C.

The Promise

It was a lot better than The Chosen.  It had more characters and it wasn't all about the Talmud or Judaism.  It had more girls in it too.  Bridget H.
