Summary: I totally dug HOLES
Review: I'm a university student and read this book as part of a Literature circle. I really enjoyed it and couldn't put it down until I finished it. This book is great for fifth grade and up. The reader can totally relate and sympathize for Stanley and what he goes through at Camp Green Lake. The way the story comes full circle in the end is what makes the book so interesting. My group loved this book and the discussion that emerged was not only fun but we analyzed all the different turns that occured. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants a little mystery and humor mixed together!

Review: I'm an emotional support teacher, and plan to include this novel next year. My students are going to love the characters in the story. The nicknames were excellent. I especially enjoyed how the characters were able to work together in order to survive. It' survial of the fittest.P

Summary: Well-deserved Newberry!
Review: I'm glad I got this book as a gift. Otherwise I don't think I would have bought it. After reading it, I was suprised at how good it actually was. (Now Holes is one of my favorite books) For anyone who has not read Holes, you should!

Summary: Very Misleading Title
Review: I'm in 8th grade, and my aunt recommended this book for me. It's a little below my reading level but any age from 8 years old up would be a great age to enjoy this book. It takes no time at all to get into the book and start enjoying the characters. I have always liked Louis Sachar's strange writing but this book puts him at the top. There is really no way to explain the book in a good way without giving away the surprises and strange conclusions that happen, which in some ways is great fun!

Summary: Diggin' holes makes me thirsty!
Review: I'm not going to write much, just that this book was GREAT! Sachar really makes the reader feel like they're right there with Stanley...diggin' them holes! I felt Stanley's anxiety, I felt his thirst (!), and I felt his pain! The plot twists and turns kept me reading (all in one sitting)! I DEFINITELY recommend this book to kids, adults, and adult-kids. 10 stars!!

Summary: Captivating for young and old(er)
Review: I'm not sure that I understand why the marketers have limited this novel by targetting it to adolescents. OK, so it's about children, but then so was 'Lord of the Flies' OK, so I did study 'Lord of the Flies' as an adolescent at school (and hated it). 'Holes' actually made me think of a very grim adult novel that is one of my favourites - 'The Tartar Steppe' by Dino Buzatti. It has the same sort of deprived and remorseless undertaking of apparently futile tasks. But 'The Tartar Steppe' remains remorseless and grim whereas 'Holes' unfolds to a satisfying resolution. I read this novel after reading a recommendation on a discussion thread. I must now go back to the recommender and say thankyou!

Summary: A very good book to read!
Review: I'm reading holes and it is a very good book. If you stop atone chapter, you'll have to read the next. Camp Greenlake is hard workfor for "Caveman" but he's doing allright. Trust me you'll love this book!
