The book had a mystic about it that I enjoyed, offering many spiritual and religious paths to ponder and question. It proved a good discussion book for book club.

Ceremony is a very well written, complex story of the life of the American Indian as told by one of their own. I enjoyed it very much, even though it was challenging to me to understand all that it was about.

Chaim Potok is a master of creating poetry in his writing. The characters are well developed and especially Asher and his pursuance of his gift in such defiance of what he has been taught about who he is or should be. The language is so clear that we hear and see and understand every element. Bravo!
