Louis Sachar's Holes is a compelling story about a boy who is wrongly accused of stealing a pair of baseball cleats. He is sent to Camp Green Lake and is forced to dig holes for his evil warden. The rules are very simple to Camp Green Lake: Dig holes, eat, and sleep for only five hours a night. If you were to find anything interesting, it should be reported to the warden for an opportunity for a whole day off from digging holes. Stanley's first hole to dig is the worst of his life. His hands get blisters and callouses because he is not allowed to wear gloves. The holes must be 5 feet wide and 5 feet deep. If they are not that exact size, the boys wil be sentenced to dig 3 more holes.
This award-winning novel is sure to take your breath away. Louis Sachar packs in a whole lot of adventure for the boys and he writes a great story of Stanley as a hero.
Louis Sachar's other books include There's a Boy in the Girl's Bathroom.
Compared with the Holocaust, Holes comes pretty close. Without all of the killing though. Hitler is just as mean as the Warden at Camp Green Lake.
I would recommend Holes to people who like adventure stories. The intended reading ages range from 11-14.

Stanley Yelnats was a very unlucky man. He was always at the wrong place at the wrong time. He lived with his mother and father. His father was a very unsuccessful inventor that was trying to invent a machine that could recycle old sneakers. So one day Stanley was walking home from school and right when he walked under an overpass some sneakers fell and hit him on the head, so he continued on. Then a cop stopped right in front of him and took one look at him and the sneakers then arrested him. He later found out that those sneakers were a famous basketball players sneakers. So they accused him of stealing them that is why he was arrested. As a punishment Stanley was sent to Camp Green Lake. This camp was made for getting kids that were in trouble out of trouble by building character. It was a long ride to the camp in the bus; it took about ten hours for them to get there. Once he got there he was in for a big surprise. He got off and looked around, there wasn't a lake at all. He went to the Warden's office to tell them that he was there. She told him to wash up and go get some rest. The next day Stanley was woken up at four thirty in the morning. They were required to dig a hole five feet deep and five feet wide every day; Stanley had to stay at the camp for a year so he had to dig a lot of holes. To find out the rest you're going to have to read the book. I enjoyed reading this book, it was very exciting and it sucked you right in. I would recommend this book to any reading level.

This book is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats who is always I the wrong place at the wrong time. Stanley blames his no-good-dirty-rotten-great-great-grandfather. Louis Sacher does a great job about putting you in Stanley's place and making it seem like you are him.
The main characters in this book are Stanley and Zero (Hector Zeroni). They really don't get along at first but the friendship grows over time. I was so entertained in this book that I really had no hard felling towards any of the characters. I think the theme of this book is that coincident don't just happen they are there for a reason. The book was very entertaining if you listened closely. The ending of the book is very well written.
I really loved reading this book. Louis Sacher kept the information perfectly precise. It is easy to understand. This is a great suspense book for everyone to read. I totally recommend this book.
This book has four stars in my eyes. I hope everyone who reads this will love it too. This book would be good for readers ages 7-12.

This book's main character is Stanley. He stole a baseball player's shoe. So for that he had to go a detention camp. The camp is terrible. All they would do at the camp is dig holes. The camps name is Camp Green Lake. Camp Green Lake used to be filled with water but now there is no water at all. This camp is for bad boys; these boys would get bad nasty blisters, from digging holes.

Stanley the main character is nice he gets along with a lot of the characters.
I like Stanley because of he's personality, he's nice and tries he's best to get along with others. The other boys are nice and kind but in the beginning of the story they were weird.
The nick names are mean these nick names are really weird Armpit is a mean nickname. This story was very interesting when ever I read I don't want to stop reading. I always wondered what was going to happen to Stanley.

So, lets say bad luck hits you in the back of the head with an old pair of shoes. Is it right to be sent to jail because a random object decided it wanted to take out its rage in the beck of your head? Well, that's how life has been for Stanley Yelnats. He has been sent to Camp Green Lake, sounds good huh? green trees, blue cool lake? No, just miles and miles of dry dirt that has been turned into a giant dry and dirty sponge. Stanley soon finds out that he didn't catch the whole name of the camp, he didn't hear the "Boys Correctional Facility" part on the end. Through his time at Camp Green Lake, Stanley is supposed to grow character, but instead, he grows a knowledge for what's really going on! This book will want you to always stay and read just a little more with a douse of Mystery added on to a splash of Adventure.

This story is about a kid named Stanley Yelnats who is accused of stealing Clyde Livingston's shoes a baseball player. So he got sent to a camp that made them dig a hole every morning. Then his best friend runs away from camp and almost dies, but then Stanley comes and saves the day. Finally, his lawyer comes and tries to get Stanley out of camp.
I like the book Holes because it's interesting, adventurous, exciting, and is so passionate to me because I think Stanley became very deep in loving camp after he got used to it. I sort of disliked it because it was to involved in just juvenile things

Review: HOLES

Have you ever found savior on what you thought was Gods thumb?
Well in the story Holes a boy named Stanley, the protagonist, is accused of steeling a pair of shoes. So he had a choice he could go to jail or go to a camp called Camp Green Lake. He chose Camp Green Lake. After a while at Camp Green Lake he got as sore as a person who got beat up all day. When he was finished he got a four-minute shower. This went on day after day. Except one day while digging he found a gold tube with the anisole K.B on it. Then a boy named Zigzag, his friend, gave the tube to the warden. So zigzag got the rest of the day off instead of Stanley. Then some time after Stanley, a boy, had pretended to steel some sunflower seeds. Zero, Stanley's friend, hit one of the leaders with a shovel across the face and ran away. Then Stanley as quickly as he could ran the water truck in to a hole when he went to fined Zero. He found Zero under an old boat that said Mary-Lou on it and then him and Zero went on torts what they thought was the big thumb of God. They finally got to the top of the mountain where the big thumb was. Will Stanley and Zero ever go home or not?
I thought this book was funny. It was interesting at times too. I thought it was funny when Stanley drove the water truck in to a hole. I liked it when Stanley told stories about people like his no good pig steeling great great grand father in between. I thought Stanley was a funny person who had a strange personality at first. He could always see his friends looking over his shoulder when he was reading a letter from his mom. I thought it was cool when it seemed like the author was talking about to things at once.
The protagonist, Stanley, was accused of steeling some shoes. Another protagonist, Zero, was Stanley's friend. Stanley was as big as a bear and Zero was as good of a digger than any one. Stanley was a frail after digging. Zero was also underhanded and undaunted. Zero had maneuvered digging but Stanley had not. Stanley's last name is his first name backward. Zero used to have a mom but she ran away when he was little Zero also did not have many friends.
I liked Zero and Stanley because they had lots of things to share with each other and they did a lot together. To see what happens next read the book Holes.

This book takes place in Camp Green Lake, a boys detention camp in Texas. The boys that have or have not done anything wrong are tortured by being made to dig 5 ft by 5 ft holes every day.

Stanley Yelnats and the other boys at the camp are tired of this and have a conflict with the Warden. They know she is looking for something. The boys put their lives in danger while trying to find out what the Warden is really up to.

Take it from me this is a great book because if you knew me you would know that I hate reading. But this is one book that I actually finished. Now that must tell you that it must be good.

Review: HOLES

Stanley Yelnats was put into a camp called Camp Green Lake in Texas,but it was actually a correction center for bad kids. What would you do and how would you get out of a place with no water for a hundred miles? All day you have to dig holes five feet deep and five feet wide in relentless heat , with hardly any water. Stanley thinks it is all because of his "dirty rotten pig stealen great great grandfather". I like this book because all the pieces of the story fit together. The characters were very real,and Louis Sachar made everything feel like your were in it.

This book is called Holes. If you don't read this book you are missing out on some of the greatest book ever.
They have nice scenes, as of Stanley Yelnats great-great-grandfather. Also how Stanley got into Camp Green Lake when he no idea that the sneakers that fell from the sky, the officers had accused him of stealing the sneakers, which a famous NBA player had donated, which was Clyde Livingstone.
I think this book is so good that the time I read it, I thought they should have convinced that this book was the best of the best book selling of the year. My rating of this book would be a five star, because t really I really enjoyed reading this book, and if I can do it, you can too. I liked the book so much that I couldn't resist so I decided to read it again.
When you pick up this book you'll be enthusiastic that you can't read any other books, but this one. You can see that it's just a kid named Stanley Yelnats going to a camp for bad boys, but there he finds friends, and all he ever does is digs Holes, that's what the story is based on. There he finds a kid they call Zero, because they say all he ever thinks of in his mind is nothing. So I highly recommend you that this is the best of the best boo that you'll ever find. If you need advice for books just take my advice or reading this, and you'll thank me when you find out the interesting facts about this book!
