Summary: this book is a great book to read. ©
Review: This is a great book for people ranging in the age group of 12 and up, because it is a quite sophisticated book. There are some bad things about this book. One thing is that at the end it is hard to put the puzzle together and it is also so good that you can't put it down. We give this book 2 thumbs up.

Summary: Funny and clever
Review: This is a great book for preteens. It's clever, with many plot twists and turns that tie up at the end. The characters are very true to life and kids can identify with them. It's so metimes sad, often funny, and hard to put down. I'm 23, I love kids lit, and this is a book I'd recommend to my friends as well as my 10-year old brother. This book pulls no punches, yet is an enjoyable read with some good lessons about honesty and friendship. Totally deserving of the Newbery. I hope Sachar writes more like this in addition to his funny Marvin Redpost series.

Summary: Fantastic Book!
Review: This is a great book, I have always tried to get my 11 year old daughter more interested in reading. This is the first book she has read in less than a week and it is 200++ pages. She became so wrapped up in Stanley and his troubles and then to have it end the way it did she was cheering out loud for him. As she says, she has "the reading bug", and now has picked up another great book to read.

Summary: holes
Review: This is a great book. I would recommend this book to other people because it keeps you wonting to read more. The beginning was very sluggish, but towered the middle it got really good! This was the part where I couldn't put the book down. That night I finished the book before I went to bed. It has good realalistic characters and a great storyline. It's a good quick read that I would recommend this book to anybody.

Summary: ED306 Book Review Assignment
Review: This is a Great book. This is a story about the many struggles of growing up- about real life. This is a story of the realities of poverty, prejudice, and greed. This is a story of children that have fallen beneath the cracks- forgotten. This is a story of lost love, mystery and murder. This is a story of perseverance- self-confidence, pride, character, justice, second chances and maybe even fate. I believe that the holes were a way for the author to teach us that life is sometimes just that- full of holes. We meet people everyday, we pass by people and never know what happens to them or if they are happy or sad, have a family, have someone to love and care for them. We also- as individuals make many decisions either conscious or unconscious and these decisions all somehow effect history or the future of others- Just as Stanley Yelnats was made late to catch his bus- he had to walk home- If he wasn't picked on and he didn't have to go digging for his notebook- He wouldn't have been struck by the stolen tennis shoes. The author has a way of making you feel a part of the book- Sachar's words pull you in. You feel the thirst- You feel the frustration and pain of digging- You feel the pain of being picked on in school- You feel the sorrow of losing something- and you feel the joy of a long awaited homecoming.-Nicole McMichael
