Summary: HOLES by Louis Sachar
Review: The main charecters in holes are Stanley Yelnats (caveman), Hector Zeroni(zero),Mr.Sir, Mr.Pendanski, and the Warden. Holes takes place in a camp named camp Camp Green Lake,but the lake had dried up years ago. The only structures around are two trees, the Wardens quarters, a few tents, a recreation room, and a lot of holes. The camp is for building charector, or is it? Stanley is framed of stealing a important pair of shoes. He can't help to think that it was the curse from his n-good-dirt-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather.Ithought the book Holes was a great book for ages 10-14. Holes was great,I couldn't put it down. It is very suspenseful and you will love the way Louis Sachar writes

Summary: Holes is an imaginative story.
Review: The name of my book is Holes by Louis Sachar. The beginning of this book has little action. It tells the background of Stanley Yelnats and his grandfather which leads into the ironic ending. But until the last 20 chapters nothing out of the ordinary happens. Thhe plot has a cool twist to it. The ending could have been different, but when Zero told Caveman that he was the reason Caveman was there that was breath-taking. If there is only one thing you will learn from this book it is to never give up. It is never too late to change even if you are in a bad situation.

Summary: Holes
Review: The novel Holes by Louis Sachar is clearly a work of genius. This novel is filled with humor, wit, and life lessons. The character names are hard to keep up with, however if read with an open mind, it isn't that difficult. Sachar writes tremendous children's novels and Holes is living proof of this. This is an outstanding work of art.
Many literary devices are used in this novel. There are quite a few motifs: the lipstick container, the lizards, and the onions are a few. Some symbols strongly used in this novel are the names of the characters themselves. Zero, X-Ray, Caveman, Twitch, Armpit, and ZigZag are some examples. The fact that these characters were given nicknames by their peers is a symbol in itself, symbolizing their belonging with the rest of the group. Sachar employs mystery and suspense significantly to keep the reader guessing at what will happen next. Dual stories/plots is another device used by Sachar to make the novel more effective. Sachar uses many devices in this novel and they are all important to the development of it.
Louis Sachar has always written children's novels and therefore writes to appeal to the children. He creates nicknames for characters, zany and humorous plots, and overall confusing nonsense to keep the reader interested throughout. Louis Sachar is a great author and even though some have not heard of him yet, his writing will soon infect the world for the better.

Summary: My review of holes
Review: The novel Holes from Louis Sachar published in 2002 is about a boy called Stanley Yelnats. He is punished for a crime he did not commit and is sent to Camp Green Lake a juvenile correction facility in the desert. At Camp Green Lake he is forced to dig a hole every day to improve his character. He soon notices that there is more to these holes than just the improvement of his character. He finds a friend Zero who is the first friend in his life. Then suddenly Zero runs away in the desert. Stanley wants to save him and follows him into the hot and dangerous desert. He finds him the same day. Will they survive in the desert and all its dangers? How will they get back home? And will they find out why they are digging these holes?
I had no problems reading the book because the language and sentences are relatively easy and there is a vocabulary help under the pages.
In my opinion the book is suitable for youths between 14 and 16 because you need to understand a lot of facts to understand the book.
The novel holes is a quite interesting book about friendship and one of the better books I read at school. But I would not read it in personal.
I would recommend this book to English classes because the book is not too bad and there are lot of worse books that your teachers can make you read.

Summary: Kendra' and Megan's Review
Review: The novel Holes is a exciting book about two boys named Stanley and Zero.There are four important and exciting events in the story.The first event is Stanley getsarrested for stealing shoes and is sent to Camp Green Lake.The second event is he arrives at Camp Green Lake and meets the boys and learns the rules.The third event is Stanley andZero make a deal that eventually causes them both to run away.The forth event is Stanley runs into some yellow-spotted lizards.

There were three lessons of life within this novel.They are life isn't always fair ,not everyone in the world is nice,and truthis strangerthan fiction.The first lesson is life isn't always fair.Stanley didn't chose to go to Camp Green Lake but he had to pay for the crime.The second lesson is not everyone in the world is nice.People weren't nice to Stanley when he first arrived. The third lesson is truth is stranger than fiction.Even though they didn't have any proof. There are many lessons of life that describe this book but I think that these are the best three,life isn't always fair, not everyone in the world is nice, and truth is stranger than fiction.

Overall I really liked this book. Iliked this book because it was very interesting.

Summary: Tyler and Lee's Review
Review: The novel Holes is a suspenceful book about two boys named Stanley and Zero. Stanley always gets in trouble. They have to dig holes to find somethig for the Warden. Later, the boys are forced to run away. Stanley and Zero are good friends.

There are several lessons about the story. They are history always repeats itself, things always happen for a reason, and always think the best. My first point paragraph is history always repeats itself. Everything will always repeat itself. My second point paragraph is Things always happen for a reason. Stanley meets Zero. My third point paragrah is always think the best. When things seem bad, they'll always get better. The book Holes shows all of these things.

This book had a good plot. You will want to keep reading this book.

Summary: Angie Meneses and Marisol Lopez's Holes review
Review: The novel Holes is a very good book about two boys named Stanley Yelnats and Hector Zeroni, but every body calls him Zero. Stanley is arrested for supposedly stealing shoes and gets sent to Camp Green Lake. He arrives at camp, meets the boys, and learns the rules. In the past, his great-great grandfather got cursed by a gypsy lady. Stanley makes a deal that eventually causes both of them to run away. They find refuge on Big Thumb. This is a very good book that I enjoyed and would recommend to almost anybody.

There were several lessons to be found in this book. The three I noticed the most were to love the mother that you have, do as if you would want others to do to you, and live as if it was your last day to be free. The first thing that I noticed was to love the mother that you have. In life you only have one biological mother, so you should love her as if she were to die tomorrow. The second thing that I noticed was do as if you would want others to do to you. Stanley went to find Zero hoping that Zero would do the same. The third thing that I noticed was live as if it was your last day to be free. Stanley didn't know he was going to go to Canp Green Lake when he found Clyde Livingston's shoes. There were many lessons to be found in the book, but the three I noticed the most were to love the mother that you have, do as if you would want others to do to you, and live as if it was your last day to be free.

Overall I think this book was very fun and exciting to read. This is a very good book for teenagers to read who think their life is hard.
