"Two things you must know. One, you were chosen at birth to save humanity. Two, you will certainly die."
Chosen, a fantasy novel for young adults by Ted
Dekker is full of action.
The main characters are four teens named
Johnis,
Billios, Silvie, and
Darsal. They are sent on a dangerous mission to recover the seven lost books of history. The story is continued through six books in the series. Each novel contains a major turning point in the fabulous tale. the main ideas are courage and good versus evil.
The author had strengths and weaknessess. One strength is how Dekker fills
Chosen with action and cliffhangers. But, he also has a weakness. One example is the introduction has no background of the characters and only a background about their world, wich makes the book difficult to interpret. This shows even a wonderful author makes mistakes.
I thought this novel was very good. I am an action lover, so
Chosen naturally appeals to me.It would also appeal to any fun loving child who loves to read.
Chosen is full of fighting, so most boys would find it interesting. The audience should be any kid to a young adult.
In
Chosen, four teens battle for fate. I loved this book, and anybody else would too. The genre is fantsy.
Chosen was written for and adolecent audience. I adored
Chosen, and any other reader will too.
