Summary: Holes
Review: Holes is about a young boy namd Stanley. His family has a history of bad luck. One day, Stanley was just walkng and shoes came flying out of nowhere. It turned out that they were famous shoes and the police came after him. When he was caught, he went to court and was sentenced to go to Camp Green Lake. Camp Green Lake isn't really a lake, just a very dry piece of land that was once a lake. Each day the children had to dig holes five feet wide and five feet deep. It was said that they were supposed to build "character" and to teach the boys a lesson. When really, there was something in the ground somewhere. What was it? You'll have to read and find out. I would highly recomend this book. It is very well written and described. The plot is easy to follow and is very interesting.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Read this, alright?
Review: This book is appealing no matter how old you are. On one level it's a character story, about a wrongly condemmed boy named Stanley Yelnats and his experience at Camp Green Lake. (A dry, waterless nothing.)
But the other (and best) part is the sub-plots. There is indeed a mystery aspect to the story, and it's brought to light by making jumps into the past. So at times, it tells two stories and they come brilliantly together in the end. If you don't get what I mean, well it's hard to explain! Read the book and find out the secrets.
Bottom Line?: A MUST READ!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Holes & Secrets
Review: I enjoyed reading Holes. I was definitely hooked. At first I thought that it would be a dorky and boring story, but in the end it was pretty good. I want to see the movie to compare and see any relations to the book. But if I was given a choice to choose the movie or the book....I'd choose the book hands down.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: MY Great Review on Holes
Review: I thought that the book Holes by Louis Sachar was a thrilling but mysteris book about a young kid who told the truth but not everyone belived him. The author displays a great knowlege on interesting facts which includes: A great courage, intelligence, great power, authority, and many many more great characteristics. This author should be rewarded for what he has accomplished. I can not fathem to say anything more about Louis Sachar because he is a great american writer.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Holes
Review: "You are to dig one hole each day, including Saturdays and Sundays. Each hole must be five feet deep and five feet across in every direction." This is what the hero of Holes, Stanley Yelnants, is told when he arrives at Camp Green Lake. There is no lake at the camp, nor has there been for over 100 years.
Louis Sacher, author of Sideways Stories From Wayside School and There's a Boy in the Girl's Bathroom, really has a great book here. Our hero Stanley winds up going to this "camp" after he is wrongly accused of stealing the sneakers of baseball great, Clyde Livingston. At Green Lake, Stanley wakes early, eats, and then spends the rest of his day digging a hole in the middle of a desert wasteland that once was a lake and town.
As Stanley gets used to the camp's schedule, he meets his fellow campers. There's X-Ray, Zigzag, Armpit, but most of all Zero, who Stanley will have a special bond with. Of course those aren't their real names, just nicknames given to every camper at Green Lake (Stanley's is Caveman).
The present day Camp Green Lake is a place of harsh treatment, fate, and mystery. The longer Stanley stays at the camp, the more he sees that there is more than just "building character" in the holes he digs. The camp's warden, a venomous, angry person, is looking for something. But what? That's just part of the mystery in this book.
There are two parts in this book that take place in the past. One is when Stanley's ancestor seeks the help of Madame Zeroni and brings a curse upon his family. The other is in the past Camp Green Lake, 100 years ago.
Holes is a wonderfully imaginative book with fate obviously playing with, and against, the character's lives.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Holes
Review: Holes is a good book though a bit confusing to get into at first, there are two stories taking place, one about the boy who is sent to dig holes and the other about a lady quite a few years back. It's exciting and different.

Rating: 5 stars
