Review: Holey Moley! This book is good!

'Stanley stood in the shower and let the cold water pour over his not sore body. It was four minutes of heaven. For the second day in a row he didn't use soap. He was too tired.
There was no roof over the shower building, and the walls were raised up six inches off the ground except in the corners. There was no drain in the floor. The water ran out under the walls and evaporated quickly in the sun.'
My favorite part would have to be he ending of it. I just liked it. I thought Louis Sachar, the author, did a very good job at the end of the book. I you read this book then you will be able to find out what happened at the end.

Review: Holy, this is an awesome book! it has everything i have come to expect from Sachar plus much more. He really put sense into all the characters, esp. Stanley. Stanley is an unlucky boy, and he does his best to try and cope with it. Great book. But stop reading this review, read the book and see for yourself!

Summary: I almost died reading this book
Review: How did I almost die reading this book ,you ask? Well I just got finished reading the 2nd page when all the sudden the book was getting so boring I started to fall asleep. I set the book aside and fell asleep. During my nighly tossing and turning my hand landed on the book. When I woke up I felt a burning sensation in my hand ( it was the boring text burning my hand). With great response I ripped my hand off the book. When I did this I got a gushing paper cut. The cut got infected and was later amputated. The doctors told me if I would of came to the hospital any later I would of died.

CAUTION: THIS BOOK CONTAINS DEADLY PAPER FIBERS

Summary: Wonderful
Review: How I came to buy this book was, one day I was shopping at a bookstore, and my dad said that he would buy me a book. I looked through the shelves, and finally decided on a book called "The Witch of Blackbird Pond." (by the way, that is a very good book). I had already read this book, and when I took it to my dad to buy, and told him I had already read it, he said, "Why don't you get a book that you haven't read?" I was a little reluctant, but I put "The Witch of Blackbird Pond" back and then decided again on "Holes." I wasn't sure if I'd like it, but I got it anyway. When I started reading it, I found out it was two times better than "The Witch of Blackbird Pond!" I loved it and finished it in a day. It is a meaningful, humorous, highly interesting and adventurous book. Reccomended to anyone! It is an overall wonderful book. You will get your moneys worth, definently.

Summary: Holes, This One's For You
Review: How would you like it if you had to go to a detention facility for something you didn't do. You were just accussed for it. Well, in this story, Stanley Yelnats is at Camp Green Lake(a detention facility) for stealing shoes. Everyday he is there, him and his inmates have to dig holes 5 feet deep and 5 feet wide. To make matters worse, the camp is infested with rattlesnakes, scorpions, and poisonous yellow-spotted lizards. This book is perfect for ages 9-13 and readers older than that. It's an all around great book.
The writers of the book carefully wondered what to put in the book that would be suitable for the 9-13 audience. The words are pretty easy to understand. The statements in the book told by Stanley are easy to understand, and the readers will understand it perfectly.
During most of the book, the author expresses lots of humor. The author also mixes in a little suspense too. The author always makes you wonder what is going to happen next. The is hardly ever a point in the book in which you know what is going to happen.
The book is very well organized. It blends the fact about punishment along with a little bit of humor. Most of the booktells you about Stanley in the detention facility(Camp Green Lake). Readers who read this book may find discomfort seeing why they have to dig all those holes.
Readers will definetly enjoy this book. It is a wonderfull book full of excitement. Best of all, younger kids as well as adults will find this book to be just for you.

Summary: Holes
Review: How would you like to have a no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing great-great-grandfather who has cursed your family line for all eternity because he didn't carry an old gypsy fortune-teller up a mountain and sing to her? Doesn't sound like the most desireble life, huh? Unfortunately for Stanley Yelnats, this "no-good great-great grandfather" just happens to be his. Ever since he was little, Stanley has always been getting into touble by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. This curse has gotten him into a juvenile detention camp where the Warden makes them dig a hole five feet deep and five feet wide. She says this builds "character". But Stanley knows better, and because of his family history he knows a place where he can run off to. He steals a truck to find a missing friend, but the truck crashes in one of the holes. Stanley runs away to a mountain known by his family as "God's Thumb". He finds his freind (a decendent of the gypsy) and carries out the promise to him that his great-great grandfather didn't, therefore breaking the curse. Anyway, they go to the "God's Thumb" and they refresh themselves with water and onions. They go back to the camp and find the treasure that the Warden was secretly looking for. The two boys are let go after the camp is exposed and live with there families.
This book is a great book. IT has lots of adventure, you get hooked very easily. My favorite part in the book was when Stanley and his freind find the treasure.

Review: [e-mail] from u.s.a. , February 12, 1999 Louis sachar- Another Hit! This is the most outrageous bok, that makes you feel like you are really there! It is like you cant stop reading! This deserved the Newberry Honor so much, because I really don't read that much, but as I read this, i read 100 pages every day. It improved my reading skills, so now i can read a lot, every single night. Everyone has to read this book, it teaches you a great lesson!

Summary: Amazing Story
Review: I absolutely love this book. When I was doing a summer camp for 4th and 5th grade children, I incorporated a story time in which I read to them for twenty minutes. At first there were many complaints. Once we began reading "Holes", after 20 minutes, the kids would be begging me not to stop. This book was recommended to me from my University English Professor and I recommend it to every adult who enjoys reading. As a matter of fact, it is my pick for my monthly book club!

Read it, you'll love it too!
