Review: SUMMARY:
Stanley had apparently caused a great deal of trouble and when given the choice by the judge choose spending his sentence at Camp Green Lake over jail. Stanley was of a poor family and had never been too camp before, it turns out however, that Camp Green Lake is not the type of camp that the rich boys spend there summers at.
As punishment at this camp each boy must dig one hole a day, 5 feet deep and 5 feet wide. The temperatures on this gigantic dried lake bed in Texas are blistering. There is no use in running because there is no water for a hundred miles in any direction, or at least this is what the dictators at camp tell Stanley.
As Stanley serves his sentence he becomes more and more aware of the corrupt leadership at Camp Green Lake. There is nothing for stanley to do but fight the days while digging up even more questions too boggle his adventure. Stanley knows that even after he leaves this camp the emotional damage will be be un bearing and he will be left too fill in the holes on his own.
COMMENTS:
Not being much of a reader I was surprised too have found this book so amusing! The fact that "Holes" is a holder of the national book award surely speaks for itself, but being iside stanleys thoughts as he partakes in this adventure is a feeling you need to experience for yourself. Dont take it from me, read the story and maybe you will be able to help Stanley fill in the holes.

Summary: Summer Camp--Sounds Like Fun, Right?
Review: Summer camp, for most children, is what they look forward to. Not according to Stanley Yelnats. Stanley is a typical teenage boy that got accused of stealing a famous athletes shoes. His punishment--summer camp at Camp Green Lake. This wasn't the typical summer camp. This camp involoved digging holes in the middle of the desert--for what reason?? Punishment?? Not really...Stanley and some of his buddies find out the REAL truth about Camp Green Lake.

This book not only tells the story of Stanley's camp experience, but it goes back in time--the way things used to be and how Camp Green Lake was created!!

I would reccommend this book for children ages 11-18 (or older). I'm twenty-nine years old and I LOVED it!! It is very humorous, serious, and gives the reader a sense of living in the "olden days."

Review: Take a lead character who happens to be a criminal of sorts...have the lead character encounter characters who are even more brutal or evil then our lead character...stick him in a bad situation and you have a fascinating book....

As I was reading this...I kept thinking about the latest Mel Gibson movie "Payback"...you end up rooting for the bad guy...and then sympatize for him...

a simple book with a multi layered plot...

Summary: EXTRA ORDINARY READ!
Review: Talk about an out of the ordinary read! A boy digging holes? How original is that? Between Zero, Stanley, and the 100 year old curse, what could happen? It all begins when Stanley gets hit in the head with a pair of famous baseball player's shoes. Then all the fun begins. You ask, what fun? Well, like the crazy landlord, Mr. Sir, Armpit, and worst of all, Juvenile Detention Center. But Stanley is NOT staying in ANY jail for long! He teams up with his friend, Zero and escapes! Water is sacred at the camp, because it is in the desert . So when they escape, they realize they have no water, so they have to use onions as a resource! The reason why I read this story is easy. It is full of action, and the best thing of all is it doesn't bore you! All the characters have an attitude of their own. Their reputation is not always bad. In fact, most of them you might want to be friends with! I picked HOLES up and read it in less than a day! I strongly encourage you to read this book! It is one of a kind! p.s. So, what are you waiting for? Go out and find HOLES! Even if it takes juvenile jail, shortage of water....

Review: talking about the book Holes-- I LUVED it!I honestly couldn't put it down! it was chock full of suspense and at the end,Louis Sachar brings some of it together but not all of it.I luved the role of the Warden. She was tough and in charge. You go girl! (lol) My favorite line in the book was "this isn't a girl scout camp" Which Mr.Sir says when anyone is lacking off.I thought that the best part was when they imagined that Mary-Lou was a girl in a bathing suit. This is going to a very good book to anyone who luves adventure and excitement with a main role of a 12 year old boy.Great for all ages! By the way if anyone reading this either
a)likes SPONGEBOB
b)knows ms.Kistler
yell at her because she hates spongebob! boo-hoo!
