Review: Perhaps some people think this book is stupid, but there will always be someone to hate a book, and some who love them! I love this book, I had to buy a few copies after read it in my classroom. This book is one of the most enjoyible books I've ever read, and I'm not being soft when I give it 5 stars.

Summary: A highly reccomened boof for young readers.
Review: Personaly I think this is a really great book. I like how the book goes back in time to tell Stanley's history and the tale of his "no good, dirty, rotten, pig stealing, great, great grandfather". Another one of the coolest parts is when Stanley sees "God's thumb" one day during a thunder storm a climbs to the top of it. This book is AWESOME!!!!!!

Summary: Happy, Sad & Curious
Review: Poor Stanley. It seems that if it weren't for bad luck, the entire Yelnats family (including young Stanley) wouldn't have any luck at all. Our entire family enjoyed this mystery (dad even read it one night & the little ones had it read aloud to them). Frustrating sometimes. A little "too" mysterious (until the end) sometimes. But it all managed to come together and had everyone cheering by its conclusion. A great read for one of those lazy days (or even for one of those long nights with a flashlight under the bedsheets!). You'll enjoy it! We sure did!

Summary: Holes review
Review: Reading the book Holes by Louis Sacher reminded me just what a children's book should be. This is an interesting story from beginning to end that is loaded with descriptive writing, unique characters, and a suspensful plot that keeps the eyes of the reader glued to each page, fulfilling their curiosity about what is buried beneath Camp Green Lake. Although the text is intended for children, mature readers and adults will surely appreciate his impressive writing style that is quite clever and very entertaining.
Holes is a fictional story about a wrongfully accused juvenile delinquent named Stanley Yelnats (take a closer look at the last name) who is sent to a notorious correctional facility at Camp Green Lake, Texas. Camp Green Lake (which actually has no lake) is a hot desert wasteland that possesses unbearable conditions for its camp convicts. In order to rehabilitate Stanley and the rest of the delinquents, the warden has demanded that everyone at camp must dig a hole (5 feet deep and 5 feet wide) each day in the intense heat to shape their character. However, is the warden merely punishing these boys or is she having them search for something? This and many other mysteries are revealed as you continue reading the book and Sacher begins filling in the "holes" by making notable references to the past in his writing.
As the story progresses, Stanley (aka Caveman) is introduced to a manifold of characters, especially those crazy Group D boys who he resides with. X-ray, Zig-zag, Magnet, Zero, Armpit, and Squid are closely personified by their nicknames. Sacher's brilliant use of descriptive writing paints a colorful picture of each character in the minds of his readers.
My favorite part of Holes is how the author traces the plot of the story back to the past. Sacher often switches the time setting in the novel back to point out significant roles in Camp Green Lake's history. Here the reader reads a story within a story and learns about the legends of Kissin Kate Barlow, Sam the onion man, and Charles "Trout" Walker. These characters all contribute to the current problems found in Holes and all relate back in some way to Elya Yelnats-- Stanley's no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather!
Holes is the 1999 Newberry Award winner and certainly qualifies as a quality children's book that contains several themes such as friendship, destiny, and hope. I was especially attracted to the dark humor found throughout the novel and the references to the past kept me guessing how the mystery at Camp Green Lake would finally unfold. The writing kept me so engrossed in the story that I actually felt like I was a prisoner alongside Stanley digging holes at Camp Green Lake.
The suspense of the novel prevented me from ever putting the book down, especially when reading about those deadly yellow spotted lizards that send chills up my spine. This truly is an entertaining piece of literature that should be a part of every child's personal library. Holes is the type of book that encourages children to have fun reading while using their own creative imagination. I highly recommend this book to everyone out there who is in search of reading a good quality book!
