Summary: great book - fosters a desire to read
Review: CREATIVE! REFRESHING!I first read the reviews and had a difficult time getting a good sense of what it was about. I bought it mainly because so many said it was "good" even though I didn't know why. When I try to relate what this story is about, I realize that it is difficult. Reading it is the best way to find out. You wont be disapointed! My child and I read it together. It is really a book a kid can't put down. There are two parallel stories intermixed that meet in the end. Kids can relate to the characters. And every kid who isn't perfect, and has ever been "picked on" by someone else, can identify with the main character. It is a VERY CREATIVE book that is part fiction, part parable, part tall tale and totally enjoyable for both kids and adults. I reccomend it for all and give it wheneve I need to give a gift in this age group.

Holes review

Holes, by Louis Sachar, was an interesting book to read. It made me ask myself questions about what was going to happen next. It kept me reading and on the edge of my seat, waiting for the next exciting moment. The story started a little slow, but soon, it got very exciting. Louis Sachar was very descriptive and I could visually picture the characters every move. I liked the part on page 91, where it says, "She stepped toward him and struck him across the face. Mr. Sir stared at her. He had three long red marks slanting across the left side of his face. Stanley didn't know if the redness was caused by her nail polish or his blood. It took a moment for the venom to sink in. Suddenly, Mr. Sir screamed and clutched his face with both hands. He let himself fall over, rolling off the hearth and onto the rug." The events that took place in the book where ordered very well, I could never guess what would happen next.

The theme of Holes is: Everything happens for a reason, good or bad, and we just have make the best of it. I definitely agree with the theme of this book. Stanley Yelnats didn't really steal Clyde Livingston's shoes from the display case at the charity home, Hector Zeroni (Zero) did. But going to Camp Green Lake enabled Stanley to make new friends, undo the curse, and most of all meet Zero, the kid that the Yelnats family adopts. Many things have definitely gone wrong in my life, but usually, they turn out to be a good thing. I'll accidentally tell a secret and then my friend will get mad at me. But then when I talk to them I tell them how good of a friend they are to me and it turns out that we become better friends. So, many bad things can turn around and become great things.

I definitely think that everyone should read this book. It is a very exciting story that most people would enjoy. This book is not focused on one age group; people of all ages can read this book. It is probably a 6th or 7th grade reading level but the story is for everyone. I read this book, and thought it was so good, I convinced my mom to read it. She thought it was great. Holes also taught me a lesson: Things can go wrong and turn out to be right. Stanley went to a horrible labor camp and met a person who turned out to be a very good friend. I'd say that went from wrong to right. So whenever you get a chance, read Holes, by Louis Sachar.

Summary: Dig It
Review: Dig It
Book: Holes
Author: Louis Sachar
Number of pages: 233
Publisher: Scholastic Inc.
ISBN: 0-439-24419-6

Imagine getting framed for something you didn't do. Imagine getting sent to a camp where you dig holes to build character. Well because of Stanley Yelnats "no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather" that is how he spent 18 months of his life.
The book Holes is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats. If you'll notice Yelnats is Stanley spelled backwards. But anyway, Stanley a regular kid gets framed or stealing a pair of shoes and has to spend 18 months at Camp Greenlake. During these 18 months he has to dig 1 hole 5 feet wide and 5 feet deep everyday to build character or that's what they tell them. At this camp Stanley makes new friends and encounters a totally new environment. To find out what happens to Stanley and the conspiracy at Camp Greenlake, read Holes.
Furthermore, in my opinion Holes is probably one of the best books you can read. What makes this book so good is that it is funny in some parts, serious at times and exciting in others. This book has a really good plot and a great ending. All these things come together to make a great book.
Also there's not just a book Holes but a movie too. The movie is just like the book. I know because I've read the book and saw the movie. The only difference I could see between the two is that in the book Stanley is heavyset and in the movie he isn't. All in all I suggest that you read the book before you watch the movie.
If you like adventure books then I recommend this book to anyone. It isn't hard to read and it has a great plot. This book also keeps you into it all the way through. Some books are boring but this one is not and I know most people don't like boring books.
In conclusion, if you can't imagine having to be punished for something you didn't do then you need to read Holes.
