Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome
Review: This book is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats who has been accused of stealing shoes from Clyde Livingston. He didn't really steal them they fell from the sky. Stanley's family believes it's because of their "no good dirty rotten pig stealing great great grandfather", and then in turn got them a curse on their family. Now Stanley is forced everyday to dig a hole the length and width of his digging shovel. That's a lot of work. The book is really 2 stories that overlap and make and awesome book. Two worlds collide and make for an interesting twist.

I loved this book. I couldn't put it down. If I would have added up all the time it took me to read it, it'd be about 5hrs. This has been my all time favorite book. I have never read a book like this. That's why it got a Newbery award. If you like adventure and mystery you will love this book. I recommend this for any age. Parents this will be a good book for your son and daughter to read. The book is only (fairly inexpensive), get this book. You will love this book, I did, and I hate hate hate hate reading. Get this book NOW; you'd be dumb not too!!!!

Summary: Holes Book Review
Review: This book is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats who is sent to Camp Green Lake, a dried desert lake, to pay for his bad behavior. He and the other kids in the camp are required to dig a hole, about 5 feet by 5 feet every day to help build character. Once you are finished, you can rest for the next day....I would recommend this to people of my age (12). All my friends recommended me this book, and I think it is a good book. Some people were writing about this book of being the greatest book ever made. I would pass it down like it's just like a valuable gift from relative to relative. It's a Newbery Medal book. It has the teachings of crime, punishment and redemption.

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This book is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats who is wrongly accused of a crime. It took me two times reading it so that I could figure out the meaning but, when I did I was so surprised and happy. The story fits together very well and is THE BEST!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: LOVING HOLES 5X5
Review: This book is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats, that found a pair of stolen shoes. I like it when Stanley stole the water truck and ran it into a hole. I also liked it when Stanley had to carry Zero up the mountain. He realized he was in mud, and to make mud, you need water. Thanks to his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather, Stanley turned out to be a better person and happier with himself. I recommend this story to people, who like fictional adventure stories.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great book for people of all ages
Review: This book is about a boy named Stanley, who is falsely accused of stealing shoes, and is sent to a Camp. The camp is at a dried up lake, and boys who have committed crimes go there. They have to dig one hole every day. Stanley meets some other guys, and they become friends. He even starts teaching Zero how to read. There are some pretty interesting things that start to happen to Stanley, when Zero runs off and he goes to find him. There is a lot of irony towards the end of the book, and it was really fun to read. The ending is really surprising, too. This was a great book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This is a Must-Read Book!
Review: This book is about a boy named Stanley.He was sent to Camp Green Lake but, it is all dried up now.He was sent there because he was accused of stealing a pair of sneakers. The camp's warden makes the boys dig for good character. But really they are digging for something else.
I liked this book because it seemed like two books in one.I also liked this book because everything tied together at the end. My favorite character was Stanley because he was nice,smart, and funny.He is my favorite because he went and helped Zero.
The best part of the book was when Stanley and Zero were heading toward Big Thumb.It was my favorite because it was exciting to know if they would make it or not.
The ending of the book was exciting,because it was a surprise to find out what they were really digging for.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Holes in a Boy's Heart
Review: This book is about a boy names Stanley Yelnats, who is wrongfully accused of stealing a baseball star's sneakers from a homeless shelter. As a result, he is sentenced to 18 horrible months of digging seemingly pointless holes at Camp Greenlake.

While Stanley is at 'camp', he meets someone who ends up as being more than a sellmate to him in this prison(which is a big deal considering he didn't have very many friends at home). His name is Zero. People tend to pick on Zero because he doesn't talk as much as others do, but he's actually very smart, and Stanley won't let anyone say anything negative about his new friend.

When Zero runs away, Stanley knows that he must go after him. Stanley and Zero find refuge on a mountain they call 'God's Thumb'.

In the end, all the wrongs are writed, and Stanley gets to go home, and, he actually did build some character digging those awful 5x5 Holes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Book is the best I*'ve read this year!
Review: This book is about a boy names Stanly who is sent to Camp Green Lake in Texas. There is no lake though. Stanly was acused of stealing a famous baseball player's shoes. He was teaching Zero how to read snd write, then everyone else got mad at him. So, Stanly and Zero escape and go through the extremly hot desert looking for water and food. The warden thinks that is is good for th boys to be digging 5 foot deep by 5 foot wide holes every day. She is looking for "Kissin Kate Barlough"'s wealth that was buried in the desert

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: This book is recomended for all ages and is very suspenseful
Review: This book is about a boy who was suspected to have made a crime. He had a choice to either go to jail for it or go to Camp Green Lake. He faces many adventures and tasks, and makes quite a few friends. But when things become life or death situations, everything becomes hectic. I recomend this book becuse it can be serious and funny at the same time. I love this book.
