Summary: A Great Read for Patient People
Review: Holes is a book about the struggles of a family through generations and how they overlap, and how resolves come through this. The story is mostly about a boy named Stanley Yelnats who is wrongly accused and is sent to Camp Green Lake for 18 months. There he is forced to do the back breaking work of digging a hole 5' wide and 5' deep all the way around every day. There he meets a kid who unbeknownst to him is a relative to the person who gave his family a curse because Stanley's great-grandfather didn't do what the gypsy asked. Now what has happened to his family is that his grandfather lost a great fortune in the stock market to a criminal, him going to Camp Green Lake, and many more. After Stanley finds a valuable object that seems to be the reason of them digging, and you learn about the criminal from his grandfathers past you get whisked into an adventure that gives you the reason why from the opposite story, and in the end everything turns out good. Therefore I think this book was good because of the relationship between the two stories and how they overlapped in different ways making it take one story and then in the same place have the characters in the story do almost exactly the same thing. Also how the two stories will give you a reason for this happening or what happens after one story ends that point. Another thing I liked were the morals of friendship, loyalty and optimism. Friendship and loyalty were potrayed in the relationship of Stanley and his friend Zero, and how one would sacrifice for the other. Optimism was portrayed in Stanley's family and how they kept their hopes up and endured the hard times. Another great thing is how the story was fun in ways like little jokes here and there and the beginning of camp, and don't forget the funny nick names. These little things made this story great. I would recommend this book to all people who have some patience and like books that alternate from one thing to another a lot because the book is slow and usually alternate at the really good part, but if you can get past that it is a great book and I encourage you to read it.

Summary: This book is stupid.
Review: Holes is a book about this and that and this and that.And it is the best book i have ever read.NOT! It is the stupidest book i have ever in my whole entire life. Never read this book unless you are forced to or you have asoloutley nothin to do.It is really that bad. Never judge a book by it's cover well this one you should. Stupid cover, stupid story. But hey it was better than watching some stupid 2-year old show. I would rather read Harry Potthead. This book makes you feel kind of like you're sitting in a big garbage can filled with the stupidest books. Anyway don't read this.

Summary: A Must-Read For Everyone!
Review: Holes is a book everyone should read. It is adventurous and exciting. I had to read it as an assignment for school. We were supposed to read 2-4 chapters every day but it was so good, I read it in 2 days. Holes is about an overweight kid named Stanley who was wrongly accused of stealing Clyde Livingston's sneakers. Instead of going to jail, he went to Camp Green Lake, a camp for bad boys. There is no lake at Camp Green Lake. It is like a desert. The boys must dig a hole 5 feet in every direction. It is supposed to build character, but that's not what they are really doing. Want to know what they are digging for?! Read Louis Sachar's best book yet to find out!

Summary: Holes
Review: Holes is a book for many age groups. As you read, you travel back in time and go into the present. Stanley is a middle school student who was accused of stealing shoes. Would you pick jail over camp? Neither does Stanley! It's not the kind of camp that most kids would think of though. It's a place where juveniles go to dig holes so they supposedly "build their character." But is that the real reason? Will Stanley and the campers stand the torture of digging hole after hole in the bright sun? Read and find out the devilish ways of the warden. Take the time out of your busy schedule and read the thrilling book "Holes". You won't regret it!

Summary: My Opinion of Holes
Review: Holes is a book in which everything is a circle or is the shape of a circle. It is challenging in its own way. It forces the reader to make conclusions by foreshadowing events. The way this book is written shows thought, effort, and many revisions. Using flashbacks to foreshadow events is a brilliant method and definitely worth considering using in your own writing. This book is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats. Notice "Stanley" backwards makes "Yelnats." He is cursed with bad luck, just like the rest of his ancestors. He is accused of a crime he didn't commit, and is forced to go to Camp Green Lake Juvenile Correctional Facility. Here, he must dig a hole 5 ft deep and five ft wide in every direction everyday for 18 months, including Saturdays and Sundays. After much work and toil, he finally leaves Camp Green Lake. This book is very good and is undoubtedly one of the best books I've ever read. I recommend it to people from the age of 12 and up.

Summary: A book full of imaginative thoughts
Review: Holes is a book plentyful of surprises. Holes is a book that looks dull and boring on the outside but in fact is filled with fun and adventurous characters. At first the title threw me off , I mean the way it sounds you would think who wants to read a story about Holes-- what a bad subject. After giving it a chance and reading it, I thought what an amazing book. I had the sensation to read it again. It was too bad that I had to return the book. Otherwise I would have read it as I planned. I am actually thinking about buying it so that I will be able to share the wonderful and imaginative thoughts of Louis Sachar with my friends and family.

Summary: Diggin
Review: Holes is a book which my dad and I LOVED! I couldn't stop turning pages or reading. Although it did confuse me a little. The reason it confused me is because there were two stories in one. Though it was confusing it still was fun to read.

Summary: Honor
Review: HOLES is a book with a great moral. It allows children to relate to Stanley. People can be accused for things that they did not do, as Stanley was. But Stanley was brave as he took the consequences for a crime he did not commit. I believe this book allowed Stanley to grow as well as the individuals around him.
