Summary: Amazingly writen!
Review: This incredibly imaginative book, about Stanley Yelnats who feels the effects of alienation, is one of the best books I have ever read! I read it in two days, because it was so well written. It reads so easy and is very easy to follow. As a 16 year old, I would recommend this book for any age. I feel that anyone who has ever had a bad day(in Stanley's case, many bad days) or bad luck can relate to this book. I have read many books relating to alienation, but this is the best one which really captures the entire "rites of passage," so to speak.
Stanley is caught stealing and is given the choice of going to Camp Green Lake or to jail. He goes to Camp Green Lake(which actually doesn't have a lake), and finds out that he must dig a hole 5ft. deep and 5ft wide in every direction every day, supposedly to build character(hmm...is that the real reason?)... not my idea of fun. Stanley through his experiences at Camp Green Lake, finds friendship, and eventually acceptance for being himself, which is a wonderful message for any person.
Sachar tells two stories at once, which intertwine in a wonderfully imaginative way. One of the stories is of Stanley Yelants, and the other story is of Stanley's "dirty-rotten-no-good-pig-stealing-great-great grandfather," Stanley come from a line of people that have had bad luck, all because his great-great grandfather didn't keep a promise to an old Egyptian lady, and stole her pig(obviously this is why he earned the above title).
I had the best time reading this book, It does have one draw back...if you like lots of Action(like a Harry Potter book)you don't get that with this book, but still this is wonderfully crafted and a credit to Sachar's writing.

Summary: Holes could be the best book I've ever read!
Review: This is a book about a boy and his friend and their troubles and
differences. Most books have either action and sadness or humor
and happiness. Holes has them all. I recommend this book to
ages 8 and older.

Summary: The Book I almost fell asleep in
Review: This is a book about a boy that was named Stanely. He got into a mess and had to go to a boot camp sort of thing. In this camp the kids had to dig holes as deep as his shovel and as wide as his shovel all the way around. Stanley, who thought that the camp would be fun, went without knowing that he was not going to like the camp. Well, how he got there in the first place was a mix-up. He did not do any crime, but was asumed a crime that he had never done.
He was at school one day. While he was at school a man was in the position of stealing a pair of shoes and bunch of things that were for the poor people. As Stanely had recess a boy took his folders and put them in the toilet for fun. He ran in after him and when he found his folders that were wet. when he came out of the bathroom he saw girls and with humiliation he ran and ran. He was so embarresed and sad. While he was running a shoe came from the sky and hit him. What hit him was stolen and he was the one who had to go to a hot sunny smelly camp.
My favorite part in this story was when Stanly was figuring out a clue with Zero. Zero was a boy that couldn't read or write. The digging was because of the past. They found out where the money was and they got it from the stories that were told to Stanely. When I read the book this was the only part I was awake in.
This book wasn't as good as I thought. I thought it would be good because almost everyone was reading it or had read it. Because of this I went to the library to borrow it. Long time ago I thought the cover was about the moon and I also thought that the meaning of Holes was the moons holes. Now I know that I was wrong and that this book had nothing to do about the moon.

Summary: This book is going to make you dig holes.
Review: This is a book about a kid named Stanley who is accused of stealing a pair of a famous baseball player's shoes, so he has a choice of going to jail or going to Camp Green Lake to dig holes. The people think that digging holes make you more smart. But all they are doing is making the kids try to dig up a treasure. This camp has groups A-F. Stanley is put in group D. Group D has kids that make up nicknames like Barf Bag, X-Ray, Zero, Magnet, and Stanley's name was Caveman because they thought he was so fat and big. Don't think this is going to be funny like Wayside School. This is serious and don't read it if you don't like a little violence. This is a very good book.
