Summary: My thoughts on Holes
Review: I thought that the "Holes" book was great!!!! I especially liked it when the Warden scratched Mr. Sir on the face with the snake venom. Also when the boys run away and they find the jars of peaches and onions and they eat them. Then the yellow spotted lizards come and crawl all over the boys, but they never bite them. I could red this book 2 thousand times and I would never get tired of it. I think that everyone should rean this book because it is so exciting, funny, and full of life!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: MY Great Review on Holes
Review: I thought that the book Holes by Louis Sachar was a thrilling but mysteris book about a young kid who told the truth but not everyone belived him. The author displays a great knowlege on interesting facts which includes: A great courage, intelligence, great power, authority, and many many more great characteristics. This author should be rewarded for what he has accomplished. I can not fathem to say anything more about Louis Sachar because he is a great american writer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Holes
Review: I thought that the book Holes was the best book I ever read. I couldn't put it down. It's as good(maybe better) than Harry Potter. In case you're wondering I'm a fifth grader in CA, but that's not what this is about. Read Holes NOW!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Keepin it Real
Review: I thought that the book was pretty good. I thought that it was easy to read and easy to pay attension to. I liked how there was always a part that something had to happen. It wasn't like any other book that had a good beginning a boring middle and a good ending. It was just good staight through. I personally liked the part where Zero nailed the guy in the head with a shovel. ...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: i liked the book
Review: I thought that the book was very good. I read it over the summer and couldn't put it down. I was so surprised at the ending. It was a good book and wish there was a sequel.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Compelling, But Complex Read [From the JDRC]
Review: I thought that this book was extremely entertaining. But, at times, it was also extremely confusing. While also unbelievable, it's a great story, and anyone who has a good sense of adventure should read it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A unique, compelling read
Review: I thought that this book was going to be uninteresting and shallow, but I was thankfully wrong. Sachar is an excellent writer with an excellent style.

Stanley Yelnats, the overweight underdog of his school, is accused unjustly of stealing a pair of very famous sneakers, and sent to Camp Green Lake, a repulsive hard-knocks camp, overseen by a conscienceless Warden, and arrayed with a huge number of scorpions, rattlesnakes, and poisonous lizards. He secretly thinks that it is the curse of his great-great-great-grandfather, who broke a promise to an old lady, that has doomed every succeeding Yelnats to failure.

Together, he and his friend Hector "Zero" Zeroni set out to find the treasure of Kissin' Kate, a legendary outlaw. And the twist at the end is a true treasure to behold.

The story of Stanley is well-paced, interspersed with stories from hundreds of years ago, about his ancestor and Kissin' Kate.

The characters, especially Zero and Stanley, are excellently-constructed. All the boys at Green Lake are well fleshed-out, keeping themselves isolated and toughened up while subconsciously banding together. With the exception of the creepy Mr. Sir, the villains are never shown as the ordinary kid-hating children's book villain, seeming to be sadistic in general.

This book deserved the Newbery Award. Bravo, Mr. Sachar.
