Summary: THE BOOK HOLES......MY REVIEW.....
Review: This is a story within a story within a story. There are many good and bad points throught-out the story. The good points are that the story keeps you guessing and in supense. Also the bad point are that the story can be boring at times and another bad point is that I like when the story tells you every thing at the end of the holes book it sort of left you hanging, I wanted to know more about Zero's parents. Otherwise I really enjoyed the story and the ending was very suprising to find out who the Warden is. I hope that Louis Sachar comes out with a second book and will have many of my questions answered. I hope that other kids will like it the way I do.

Summary: Josh and Janel's holes review
Review: This is a unique book about a boy who gets sent off to Camp Green Lake. Stanley is a boy in the book who gets sent to camp for stealing tennis shoes. Stanley is unique because his first name is his last name spelled backwards. He meets a friend, his name is Zero, and they get into lots of trouble.

There are many things about Stanley that make him unique. The things that make him unique are he's smarter than the other boys, he cares about his mother more than anyone else, and he didn't do anything wrong. The first unique thing about Stanley is he is smarter than the other boys. He actually cares about is brain. The second unique thing is he cares about his mother. He thinks about her and want she thinks. The third unique thing about Stanley is he didn't do anything wrong. He didn't steal the shoes he just happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.Stanley was just an unique person.

It's an awesome book. It has many interresting stories from past to present. If you like books like this; look for Holes.

Summary: The Hand of Fate
Review: This is a very clever novel. It shows extraordinary skill in melding together a number of diverse story lines, each of which is interesting in its own right. It contains a number of interesting characters; in particular, Stanley and Zero as well as Sam and Kissin' Kate.

Unfortunately, there are certain things about this book that rub me the wrong way. Mainly, I don't believe much of what happens in this novel could happen. It pretends to be a realistic novel but a lot happens here which I don't find to be very real. My main problem is that all of the action has a driving force of fate or destiny. This kind of active destiny is just not something I believe in and so it interfered with my enjoyment of the book.

Don't misunderstand: this is a very good book and well worth the read. For me, however, it will never be one of the best of the Newbery winners.

Summary: A Very Good Book
Review: This is a very good book for teenagers. I think that almost any one could relate to it. It has some funny parts, some sad parts, and some hopeful parts. I like this book alot because it is a well written book for young adults. I know that I would never want to have to dig holes as deep and wide as my shovel every day all day!

Summary: Actoin book
Review: This is a very good book. Holes is one of the very best books I have ever read.The book is about a boy named Stanley who was poor a little and one day he was at the wrong place at the wrong time. So he goes to jail but it really wasn't a jail. It was like you had to go in the desert and dig a hole every day. There was a reason why you had to dig up a hole. It was because of the owner the wardem. She heard that she had a ancestor that had some treasure in a brief case berried somewhere, thats why she has them digging holes. My favorite character is Stanley cause he never gave up. My favorite part in the book is when Stanley and Zero runs away.This is one of the best books ever.

Summary: Read this or pay the price
Review: This is a very good book. I've read it so many times that I could recite it. The book I'm talking about is called Holes by Louis Sachar. this epic adventure is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats. He was mistaken to have done a crime which he really didn't do. He was taken to a labor camp. But this wasn't just any labor camp. This camp made boys dig holes five feet deep and five feet wide. They had to dig at least one hole every day. I hope you read this book because you will like it.

Summary: Brilliant, for all ages
Review: This is an absolutely brilliant and moving story. If it had been around when I was 13, I would have been unable to put it down. Now, I'm 31, and I am unable to put it down. You simply don't have to be young or adolescent to enjoy this book. It is just specific and detailed enough to paint a vivid picture, and also (like many of Samuel Beckett's best books) just abstract enough to be timeless. Stanley Yelnats--the main character, a nebbish punished (like all of us, occasionally) without any sense of fairness--does not make us relate to him by being a superficial copy of anyone. He, and the other characters--especially Mr. Sir, a macho overseer, and the other boys enduring youth correction camp--are understandable because they are so very *real.* Every character in the book is like a statue carved in wood, and etched with both wit and compassion. Mark my words--people will still be reading this book 100 years from now. They may be astounded to know that it dates back all the way to the early 21st Century.
