Review: My children and I could not have enjoyed this book more. We were continually surprised at the intricate twists and turns of the story. All of the clues to the ending were provided if the reader was careful and paid attention to detail. This is one sensational book.

Summary: Holes is not just for kids!
Review: My children read this book in school and I was intriqued by what I heard about it. So!! I picked it up and started to read it and never put it down (a few happy hours later) until I was done! I absolutely loved the story and characters. You could almost experience being in the dried up lake with them! I especially liked how Mr. Sachar intertwined 2 stories, one of the past and ancestors and the other of the present Stanley, to come up with one wonderful story and ending. What a wonderful book for readers of any age! If your kids have read this in school, read it for yourself so that you are not missing out on a really enjoyable experience that you can share with your kids.

Summary: One Good Book
Review: My class and I read holes in class, and I think it is awesome. It has adventure, courage, comady, and a little romance. It is a book you can't put down, one that you have to read from cover to cover. If anyone asked what would be a funny book to read to younger people I would suggest Holes.

Summary: Holes Review
Review: My ELA class and I just read the book Holes by Louis Sachar...I loved it! It really made me think. At the end you look over it and say, "Oh, wow! Everything is a circle!" Holes got its name from the fact that everything runs in a circle, and holes are circles, too! I really loved and enjoyed this book and plan to buy it and read it repeatedly. Read this book and be happy!

Summary: Moms of advanced readers - get this book
Review: My excellent 8 year old reader can never find enough appropriate books for her age that are challenging enough for her reading ability. This one hits the spot (or should I say "hole"?) It is realistic enough to be exciting, without raising issues I am not ready for her to read about yet. I preview her books now because I've been burned by some books I thought would be okay. (Look out for Tamora Pierce's popular series that has the protaganist sleeping with several young men, for example.)We both loved it, and we had some great discussions about friendship, family and poverty after she finished. This book is a keeper.

Summary: Holes An Adventurous Book
Review: My favorite book Holes, written by Louis Sachar, is a very wonderful book. This book is about a young boy named Stanley. Stanley has done something very bad and has to go to Camp Green Lake. Camp Green Lake is a camp where boys go when they have done something bad. This camp has no lake. Every boy has you dig one hole each day five feet wide and five feet deep. This books tells about Stanley's adventurous and miserable time at the camp. One reason this is my favorite book is because I like books with adventure, and this book has plenty. One example is when Stanley and his friend X-ray, walked across the dried up lake searching for the mountain that they thought had food and water. Another is when Stanley decided to go out on his own looking for X-ray who ran away. The last example is when X-ray and Stanley went out at night and tried to dig for a buried treasure the Camp Warden was looking for. The next reason I enjoy this book is because I love Stanley's personality. He is always willing to help someone in need. He even offered to help teach one of his friends to read and write. Stanley is also very caring. His friend X-ray stole some sunflower seeds. Stanley said he was the one that stole the seeds. He risked getting into trouble for this when his friend was the one who did it. Last, Stanley is just the kind of guy I would want to be around. Finally, the last reason why I picked Holes as my favorite book was because I liked how the story ended. The ending was very happy and creative. It's not not one of the endings where you cry, or wonder what happens next. It made me close the book happily. These are just a few of the reasons I enjoyed this book. In conclusion, Holes is my favorite book.

Summary: The Best Book Ever
Review: My favorite book I recommend to you is Holes by Louis Sachar. It's about This boy named Stanley Yelnats. Stanley is falsely accused of stealing a valuable,donated to a homeless shelter to help raise money. Stanley therefore is forced to Camp Green Lake to dig a 5 foot hole everyday until he learns self discipline.
Little does Stanley know he's going to make a friend named Zero (he is the one who everyone believes knows zero about everything.) First of all, I think the Warden is one of those mysterious, strange types. She created the dry lake Camp so she
could find some treasure that was buried long ago. Man, was she right! Another reason I like this book is because, Sachar put so many sensory details in this novel. For example, Sam would call out, " Fresh, sweet, hot onions 10 for one dollar's worth of green bills." I also liked how this book starts off interesting. It doesn't get interesting half way through the book and wastes your time. Instead it starts off thrilling and exciting on the very first page. Fourth, I like how the book reveals mystery throughout the book. Next you'll like how this book is funny, yet clever parts in it. For example, have you noticed Stanley's last name is his first spelt backwards . Finally, this paragraph should help you find the best book in the library, Holes by Louis Sachar.
