Summary: My Style
Review: Holes is a story,within a story,within a story,within a story.Sachar's style makes you think of many ideas and wonders.He wrote all different stories which had holes for you to fill and find out for yourself.His style made me stay focused in the book because you are dealing with all these thoughts and ideas that you would never know what would happen next.But in the book there are good points and there are bad points.The good points are when the book gets really exciting and your just have to know what happens next.The bad points are like at the end when he keeps you hanging and you want to know what happend to everybody else which kind of surprised me.He just wants you to fill in holes yourself.Overall, Sachar's style is my style because it's not those kind of books that stick to the same boring subject, it is the kind of wonders that all come together in the end when you finished filling your hole.

Summary: holes
Review: I liked this book. I would reccomend it to all kids.I gave it a four star because I thought it was an exciting and interesting.Somtimes it can get cofusing when he has flashbacks.
Another reason why I liked it is because it was about a kid who was overweight and didn't have very much friends but when he went to Camp Green Lake he learned to be disipline and he lost weight and he made more friends.I enjoyed reading it alot. I wish the author would make a sequel but he's not going to. I think I've only read one other book that was better. I didn't give it a five star because I didn't understand some of it. I really liked this book alot.

Summary: holes
Review: The book was a pretty interesting. But I don't like how the author has the flash backs. It has to little pages in one chapter. And to many chapters. I like the topic. I reccomend this book for every one. Of all ages. The book was exiting also.

Summary: Full of Suspense!
Review: I thought this book was good. I will admit I've read better, but it was still good. I would recommend it. It was suspensful and interesting. It was sort of a mystery. I rate it a 4 because, it could've been better. The characters were pretty good and it had a decent plot. My favorite character was Zero. I thought he was tough and showed he had the guts to run away from camp Green Lake. So, go ahead and read it. I think you'll like it.

Summary: Totaly Cool
Review: Holes is an excellent book! It's about a kid, Stanley Yelnats, and his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather! Stanley is accused of something he didn't do. He ends up going to court. The judge gives him two choices: jail or Camp Green Lake. Stanley and his parents choose Camp Green Lake. Stanley is sentenced to stay for over one year. As a "camper" of Camp Green Lake Stanley is required to dig a hole five feet deep and five feet wide in every direction. Stanley ends up going on a deadly adventure. Then something amazing happened, Stanley...... I give this book five stars for comedy, sadness, and an all around good book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Awesome Book!
Review: Holes is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats, who was accused of a crime he didn't commit. Of stealing a pain of shoes owned by Clyde Livingston, a famous baseball player. He was given two choices, to go to jail, or probation camp. He picked probation camp. It was Camp Green Lake, It is not green and there is no lake. The boys there dig holes 5 feet wind and 5 feet deep. There Stanley meets Mr. Sir, He tells him what he will do for the next 14 months. His Councilor is Mr.Pendanski. Everyone calls him Mom. Everyone has Nicknames there. There is Magnet, X-ray,ZigZag,Armpit,Zero,Squid, and Stanley is Caveman. Stanley gets along with them, but he thinks it is much harder to dig the holes than to stand the heat. It is in Texas, there is little water. Will Stanley Survive, find out in Hole by Louis Sachar.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Holes Review By J.A.G.
Review: What did I like about Holes? I liked how the warden, Mr. Sir, and Mr. Pendancki got what they had come'n to'em, because of the way they treated the kids that were there, at Camp Green Lake. Stanley lost a lot of weight, and built self confidence for himself. He was also fairly good at solving problems. I like Zereo/ Hector because he wasn't really afraid to do about anything.

Why did I choose this book to be a five-star book? Because I didn't think the book ever got boring. I never thought that stanley and Zero, or any of the kids would find the treasure, or whatever the warden was looking for. Even if they did I thought it would be gold coins or something. I thought it was weird how everybody called Mr. Pendancki mom,"except Stanley." Overall I thought this was a good book, and I really enjoyed reading it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nice,Solid read
Review: This book is a great book for anyone who likes drama with a twist of action and aventure. Stanley Yelnats is sent to a boot camp called Camp Green Lake for a crime he did not comitt. Camp Green Lake is not a lake. It's just a barren wasteland. At camp Green lake badboys have to dig a 5 foot hole each day. But as Stanley gets to know the place it seems that the counsolors, the warden, Mr.Sir, and the other workers seem to want to find something under the soil, and they want the boys to dig the holes to find it...Holes is a solid read for anyone.It may seem slow in some parts but in other part the action is awesome.It is overwell a great book. Happy Reading!!
