This book is the sequel to The Chosen by Chaim Potok. He writes about what life was like for Jewish and Hasidic people in Brooklyn of New York in the 1940's. I read The Chosen for a school paper and when I found out there was a sequel, I wanted to read it right away, which I've finally gotten around to doing. I think that The Promise was even beter than The Chosen. I kept telling myself I was only going to read to the next chapter, or the next, and "the next chapter" finally became the end. I couldn't put it down. It's definitely better if you read The Chosen first, but it's not entirely neccessary. I highly suggest that anyone who enjoys any form of reading to read these books. I also plan to read the other books that Potok has written.

Now that I've finished the books I had from the library, I'm going to start reading more from my own personal library, and might I just say, but they are gonna be really awesome books! :]
