I read a LOT of YA fiction since I'm a school media center specialist (fancy name for librarian) and I feel like it's a sad statement about the quality of Christian YA available out there that this book has gotten such good reviews. Measuring it next to all YA available out there, this book would be in the low middle of quality, but measured against other Christian YA, it is sadly towards the top. We need more Christian YA that is not just good for Christians, but good quality literature in general. :( [Note 2022: Since writing this 10 years ago the quality of Christian lit for YA has improved a lot. Enclave and Thomas Nelson especially have really improved what is now available.]
The setting is an alternate universe that has been plagued by some sort of disease so that most of the planet is desert (did anyone else just think Dune?) but there are 7 springs of water surrounded by seven forests where people remain. The water has some sort of healing/sustaining property such that people need to bathe in it daily or they succumb to this desert disease that turns them into Scabs. (Think dry, crusty, Bubbles from LOTR --sorry, that's Lord of the Rings). The Scabs detest the people and think they’re repulsive and vice versa so of course they are at war.
At first I thought this was going to turn into a Ranger’s Apprentice-type book because it starts off and they are having a vicious, armed game of “football” that allows minor injuries (such as broken bones and flesh wounds) to decide which teenagers will be joining the army. The four young main characters encounter some interesting developments (can’t tell what in case you read it) and end up out in the desert on a quest for The Books of History. There are some minor allegories/allusions going on in the story, but most are subtle enough you appreciate Dekker’s craftiness and creativity. Some are more blatantly obvious, like Michal and Gabil are two white bat-like creatures called Roush who help the kids and there are evil black bat-like creatures too. They are supposedly things of legend; it turns out they exist, but only those with eyes to see them know they exist. I think most of you have probably figured out that allusion.
Was it the most amazing story I’ve ever read? No.
Will I need to read the next to read the next book. Yes. There was only one minor plot development resolved (ok, so it was life threatening and pretty important, but in the grand scheme of things still minor), and lots of other things left hanging. Thus the need for 5 more books. Oh, and Ted Dekker leaves this nice little note for you at the end of the book that if you want to know where the mysterious leader of the people, Thomas, came from and why the people on the planet only remember the past 13 years you have to read a parallel series of books: Black, Red and White. Grr. So that means I now have 5 more books in The Lost Books series to read and 3 more books in the parallel series to read. I’ll let you know if it is worth getting sucked into this black hole or not after the next book.
Note: Now that I've read pretty much the whole series, no, it isn't worth getting sucked into the black hole. Yes, Dekker has some good creativity going, the plot had great potential, but the execution fell far too short. I'm so fed up with Dekker's writing for teens I can't stomach the idea of reading any of the adult books right now. I know, he probably writes really well for adults, but I've still got a bad taste in my mouth from books 2-4 & the end of 6.

The writing is clumsy (such as "The question is whether or not you've lost the few peanuts contained in that container above your shoulders" p. 109, and "he knew he would die if he let those finger/claws touch him" p. 144). I get annoyed when writers take a lot of time writing out endless bickering dialogue but can't be bothered to write out the non-bickering dialogue and instead put a summarizing paragraph in place of it. The kids in the cohort were much stupider than they needed to be considering that they have been tested to be cream of the crop in the villages, which causes more bickering and therefore unneeded tedium.
The plot is pretty exciting, though, so it's not like I wouldn't recommend it to a kid to read. But I might recommend other things before this.
And I'm keeping in mind that I read this when I had a migraine, so it may have made me crankier.

After reading the Circle Trilogy, I thought the chosen one was Thomas Hunter. But in this series, the chosen one is a 16yr old, Johnis.
He is chosen along with 3 other friends to join the Forest Guard, Billos, Darsel and Silvie.
Johnis is not a fighter, but a reader (I like this kid!!!) Yet he is put in charge and told to 'lead with his heart'.
They are sent into the desert to find cacti, something Johnis' mother did when he was sick and never came back, possibly killed by the Horde.
They are quickly ambushed by the Horde, but saved by the Roush (fuzzy white bats) Gabil and Michal (is it just me or does this remind you of Gabriel and Michael the archangels???).
They tell Johnis and eventually his friends that their mission is to find the lost books, The Books of History, which is tied to another series the Circle Trilogy. But don't worry you don't have to read the trilogy to get the gist of the meaning.
The story is definitely exciting. I felt, in the Circle Trilogy, the book of histories seemed 'lost'. I am interested to find out the history of the book of histories (HA@!)

First book I ever added on goodreads, just had to fix something.
ORIGINAL REVIEW
I bought this book around 6 months ago, I got home read 45 pages and was tempted to throw it away.
I ended up finishing it, but the story lacked plot, excitement. Way to much talking and bickering between Johnis and the other recruits. The love story was bad, it had the most predictable ending EVER. I hated literally every character in the whole book, including the MC. The only thing that's resurrecting this book from being a one star was that the writing was decent. The only people who would enjoy this book is either people who have never read a good fantasy
or people who don't know what good fantasy is.
(NO OFFENCE TO PEOPLE WHO LIKED THE BOOK.)

I strongly recommend reading the Circle Saga first to get a proper understanding of the setting of Chosen.
Chosen, the first of the Lost Books series, is a midquel set between Black and Red, the first and second instalments of the Circle Saga (read 2006-2007). Hunter is reduced to a supporting role with four new recruits to the Forest Guard – sixteen year olds Johnis, Bilios, Sylvie and Darsal – taking centre stage. On an initiation task, they are accosted by one of the Roush (allegorical angels) and urged to find the seven original books of history.
This is a very poor start when compared to the likes of Black. There is not enough explanation for the unfamiliar and too much for series veterans. Everything is very cliche and perfunctory.
Johnis, the titular chosen one, is rushed from ignorance to acceptance. Soon he is mouthing off to super-villain Teeleh, which undermines the terror of Teeleh, the journey of Johnis and is all quite unconvincing.
The dynamic between the four new recruits is also run of the mill, with nothing in particular resolving the customary tension and resentment between the naturally gifted rising star and the grafters.
In between the real action, Hunter and opposite number Qurong do much pacing which is reminiscent of Circle but utterly lacking in atmosphere. Instead of building tension, these interludes interrupt the action and diminish the characters’ roles with inane chatter.
The plot goes nowhere, but does it very quickly with a frustrating pattern of Deus ex machina in Roush form over and over again.
The Roush, though abused by Dekker’s plotting, are scene stealers and by far the best characters in Chosen. Their wit and exuberance are a welcome constant and hopefully they will remain regularly recurring with better contexts.
It was also wonderful to have Hunter’s first wife making a surprise appearance. Links to Paradise are also evident, and great fun to spot.
A distinctly average opener that belies the talent of Dekker and genius of the original Circle Saga.

Family trip listen. First Ted Dekker book. Enjoyable story that works for young teens.

I really enjoyed this! It was a Christian book, and was completely clean. Very fun read!
July 27, 2009
Well...it was not exceptionally written in as much as the words and sentences were very simpleton and there was no figurative language or devices or even phrases, catches, not even a sentence that stood out. Was it written for a younger age audience? I think it was in the teen section, but the combination of fantasy characters, shallow depth level involved (as far as romance or emotion - other than action), and pedestrian choreography of the sentences made it seem more directed toward lower age levels. The information and background to this new land and its customs was also not gracefully presented all the time. It seemed as though the author came to something, and then realized he had to explain what was about to happen so put in a little tidbit about something than happened years ago. The book was actually not unlike riding a donkey/mule up or down a canyon; stops, pauses, uncertainty, but enough edge, adventure, and cleverness to keep you glued to the saddle. All the same, the compelling plot with a quest and tests of soul plodded me along to the end, which, I guess as Ted Dekker is known for, had a kind of twist that makes me want to order the next one from the library... So, all in all, not terrible, not great, I suppose interesting. However, if you like completely different fantasy lands that include large fuzzy bats fighting each other, "A dark one", a land taken somewhat from Lord of the Rings, frustration with a pigheaded character, and you have a youthful mind...I'd say this book is for you.

I read this book as a child and was enthralled. Those memories drifted back as I'm starting to read again as an adult so I decided to start the series again to complete it.
Holy crap I forgot that this book is super Christian. For a young Christian reader it's a fun read, but reading it as an adult who is post-Christian I was not the biggest fan. It was fun reading in the nostalgia but wouldn't recommend picking it up if you're also looking back.

I liked this book, the action and mystery was good. And the romance was okay, i wish Ted Dekker went into more depth of the character's love stories, that would of been great :) But the story line was good.
September 30, 2023
It's pretty good, but not up to the bar that Dekker set with Red, Black and Green (I probably have the order wrong). It seems to be a young adult series now. And of course, a lot of what made the original trilogy great was the plot element of the two worlds the hero is moving between. I enjoyed it but won't read the rest of the series.

I am listening to the audiobook version on Hoopla, not actual CDs. The narrator is okay, mediocre. The story so far is not what I expected of one of my favorite Christian suspense writers; reads a bit like Hunger Games to me. I have read this series, but will see if I completed it. I am working on getting the latest one for the work library, ordering now! I have ordered some of Ted's books to read or ones I have read, series, and hope to read the red/black/green series.

Personal Response:
I thought the book, Chosen , by Ted Dekker was a outstanding book. I could relate to the book, because it was a lot like the Hunger Games. The main character was very enthusiastic and it made me really get into the book. Also, I could relate because the main character seemed to fit my personality type. The book really reminded me of Beowulf and how there are three monsters.
Plot:
The book all started when Billos, Silvie, Darsal, and Johnis had been sent on a mission to find four Catalina cacti. They started searching, but they figured they weren’t going to find them. Johnis had started to call for the cacti. The problem with this whole mission was there was a disease. The disease was where your skin will start to fall off if you do not bathe in the healing water of the lakes. If you do not bathe in these waters your skin will start to crack and you will begin to turn crazy. The disease does not kill you, but if you have the disease you are called a scab. On the way to find the cacti they encounter some creatures. The leader of all of these monsters is Teeleh. Teeleh is like the character Grendel from Beowulf . The monster had tried to attack Johnis and his squad, but they had defeated all the characters and tried to go back to camp or home. They ended up getting one of the Catalina cacti. The book left it at this because there are many other books this series. I think in the other books there will be a Catalina cacti in every other book that will be found.
Characterization:
The main character in this book is Johnis. Johnis is your average sixteen year old until he was told by Thomas Hunter that he was going to be a squad leader of the mission through seven forests. Billos is another main character. Billos is the strongest and biggest of the squad and looks to be a good warrior.
Impact of Setting:
The setting took place in a time period of around 4000 A.D. Most of the story took place in a desert that use to be a forest. This was one of the seven forests left and it was called the Dark Forest. The reason for the desert was because, there had been many battles and adventures that had happened in the story and this is where they took place. Another setting was Teeleh’s home. Teeleh’s home was a major setting also, because that was the mythical creature that had attacked their village at the beginning of the book.
Thematic Connection:
I think the theme of this book would be trust. The reason I think the theme would be trust, because Billos, Silvie, and Darsal had to learn to trust Johnis. Another reason, Johnis had to be able to trust the Roush in what they had to say to him.
Recommendation:
I recommend this book to any high school student or above. The reason I suggest this for high school students and above is there is a lot of mature and gory scenes in the book. I would also recommend this book more for guys because it has a lot of manly and masculine sayings that might offend the girls. This book was a lot like hunger games but instead of a woman having the lead part it is a man. Overall I would say that this was a very good book.

At first glance Chosen reminded me of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings or Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance Cycle, but I was sorely mistaken.
Chosen, the first in The Lost Books series, spans the fifteen year gap between the Circle Trilogy’s Black and Red books. Whether you have or haven’t read the Circle Trilogy doesn’t matter though because The Lost Books stand alone as intriguing tales of good versus evil.
Dekker throws us into a world much like our own, but at the same time very different where 13 years ago a terrible evil wreaked havoc on the followers of Elyon. The evil shows itself in the form of a scaly disease that covers the flesh, turning people into the Horde and decimating the lush and colorful forests. All that’s left is seven small forests surrounding lakes where the people of Elyon bathe daily to rid themselves of the disease.
While the story mainly follows the four teenagers, Dekker frequently plays with point of view in this new tale. He manages to create memorable characters, a visually beautiful landscape, subtle hints, foreshadowing, and clever twists that kept me interested for all 260 pages. A rather short book in comparison to the others out there right now, but worth every word.
Some criticize Dekker’s cheesy dialogue and call the characters underdeveloped, but still find they are unable to put the books down due to his ability to tell a fascinating tale. The majority of people, on the other hand, praise him for the amazing world he has created.

This was an amazing story. I read it straight through. Couldn't put it down. It reminded me of the Song Of Albion series written by Stephen Lawhead in the mid 1990s. I loved the premise, the plot, the action, the emotion. It was amazing. And those characters were in perilous situations so often it was downright thrilling. I love it when situations seem hopeless, but then something happens to turn it around. But like life, it's never easy. Love isn't easy, nor is faith, not when the facts tell you all is lost. But if you listen with your heart and choose to not filter everything through your head, you will hear the truth. Awesome, gripping fiction. A bit gory and graphic at times, but certainly no worse than what you see on television. I highly recommend it. Ted Dekker knows how to pull you into a story with the best of them. No wonder he's a NY Times best-selling author. :)

Well, where do I start? I'll start with the good things. The book was easy to understand and descriptive enough. Mostly I just loved the little white bat things, because I found them amusing.
But there is a list of bad things I found in this book. Firstly, the plot was ridiculously slow, and I found myself only reading it when there wasn't anything else to do. When you read the description of this book, you expect a violent, action-packed story. Well in this I was dissapointed with the lack of exitment. I wasn't very impressed with many of the characters either. I can count three right now, and there are many more than three characters in that book.
If I were to recommend this novel to somebody than I would recommend it to anyone who wants to waste time on something they can be dissapointed by.

The Book:
Thomas Hunter is the supreme commander of the Forest Guard. His army has seen great war and now the commander it forced to supplement his fighters with teenagers.
Thomas doesn't know but the chosen four are redirected to a different endgame. They are tasked with finding the seven lost Books of History. The journey begins.
My Thoughts:
With much symbology this book has a deeper meaning. One that touches eternity. Teens, Johnis, Billos, Darsal and Silvie go on a journey, an adventure that changes everything.
This the first book in the Lost Books series. I look forward to learning more about these characters, as I have grown to like them.
