Rating:  Summary: Hot Dog Review: This was a wonderful book! I really enjoyed this book; it was amazing. The first 5 chapters are sort of boring, but trust me it gets better... I'm not going to tell you about it because you have to read it yourself...
Rating:  Summary: How many times did I cry? Review: This was an absolutely wonderful read. I felt so sorry for Stanley. I didn't understand the symbolism because I put down the book for a month. But when I got to the end, and understood all of the meaning therein, I cried my eyes out. I know that Louis Sacher will become one of our best young people's writers. This will become a MUST in our library.
Rating:  Summary: Gets Better As You Go Along Review: This was an excellent book for young adults (and those young at heart looking for a quick read). Our protagonist makes smart choices for a young one and has a good heart that proves that with hope you can get through anything triumphant. The author weaves an original folktale in to the story that brings the plot together in a way that makes you cry for joy. Forget Harry Potter - this is the one to add to your children's library.
Rating:  Summary: The best book Review: This was an excellent book. I usually preffer something longer, but over all it was pretty good. My english teacher read it to us and most of us loved it, but unfortunately I have to write a book report on it and I am trying to get notes from one of the days I was absent and he's not responding to me!
Rating:  Summary: Transmitter from B-1. Hi LQK! H les Review Review: This was definately a great book. I rate it 4 stars. A great children's book that could take one off to many new levels. Some of the characters will stay in our hearts forever! Even the no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealin-great-great-grandfather. Mr.Pendancekey, watch out for snake venom nails!Say goodbye to God's Thumb for us! GOODBYE CAMP GREEN LAKE! ZERO AND CAVEMAN FOREVER!
Rating:  Summary: Zero runs away from Camp Green Lake Review: This was my favorite book . The part I liked was when Zero hit Mr. pendanski in the face. Zero takes the shovel and digs one more hole under the boat of sam. This probably saved his life. A must read!!!!
Rating:  Summary: The Best Book Ever Review: This was one of Luis's best masterpieces. This non-stop page turning book will keep you on the edge of your seat and it keeps you wondering what will happen next to Stanley Yelnants. Anyone who is looking to read a book that is fun and easy to read is going to be amazed. I have not heard anyone say anything bad about this book. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it when it first came out. actually this book was so good that it had a movie made after it. Luis is an adult, but knows what a kid likes and laughs at. therefore i give this book five stars.
Rating:  Summary: read or regret, it is a great book! Review: This was one of my favorite books along with "Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone". I recomend it for anyone. You will be done in 1 day gaurented, a reel page turner.
Rating:  Summary: Holes Review: This was really a good book. I liked the way the story was developed and how they kept going back in time. I also thought the characters were interesting, especially Stanely and Zero. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a hard time getting interested in most books. I read the whole book in a couple of days, it was so good.
Rating:  Summary: A great read! Review: This was such a fun book to read. First off, I don't 'review' books like the others who tell you about the story. This book has many interesting facets to it. The story is captivating and moves along at a steady pace leaving no boredom. It even starts with a bang. In addition, there are intriguing plot twists which is a definite plus. Oddly, there are two other stories included in addition to the main theme. I won't elaborate but it adds a certain dimension, as well as humor, to it. I am not a politically correct person and am easily put off with social issue "message" type books. However, this one addresses issues such as racism, peer pressure, and adolescent crime in such a good way. It didn't feel like you were being preached at like so many "message" books do. There are plenty of character issues addressed as well such as honesty, perseverance, patience, and understanding. The book contains one small curse word that I can remember and no sexual references at all. There is some violence, including a murder, but the violence is brief and I didn't find it offensive. There is, however, some disturbing moments where a character becomes gravely ill but it's handled very well and used in a positive way. On the lighter side the book has plenty of humor. Even when it shouldn't be humorous you'll find it is. Mr. Sachar has a way about that. On the whole it's just a great book. I give it the full 5 stars for it's content, readability, humor, suspense and very happy ending. No wonder it won the Newbery! I suggest grades 5 and up for reading on their own and 4th grade and up for being read to.
