Title: My Name is Asher Lev is powerful and spellbinding.
Review: Chaim Potok truly captures the thoughts of a young boy struggling through adolescents in an extremely religious world. It is written so well, that one can hardly put the book down. Although it is not a quick read, it almost seems like it is since it is so easy to read it quickly. This story is so powerful and dark that one feels as though they are pulled into Asher Lev's world of darkness and fear. While living a Hasidic lifestyle, Asher is thought to be painting for the "other side." This other side is so spellbinding that you are there as you read the story. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is prepared for a serious read.
