Rating:  Summary: Fantastic Review: The book Holes, by Louis Sachar, is one of my favorite reads. I love how a narrator tells the story. This helps me to better understand what Stanley was going through. For example: "Stanley Yelnats was the only passenger on the bus, not including the driver or the guard. The guard sat next to the driver with his seat turned around facing Stanley. A rifle lay across his lap. "Stanley was sitting about ten row back, handcuffed to his armrest. His backpack lay on the seat next to him. It contained his toothbrush, toothpaste, and a box of stationary his mother had given him. He'd promised to write to her at least once a week. "He looked out the window, although there wasn't much to see, mostly fields of hay and cotton. He was on a long bus ride to nowhere. The bus wasn't air conditioned, and the hot, heavy air was almost as stifling as the handcuffs." (p. 6) This passage explains one of the many hardships Stanley had to endure while at Camp Green Lake. This book has a reoccurring connection with the past and the present. I would agree that this theme is true to its word. This theme also relates to my life. My family's past generations have gone through similar celebrations and trials as my family has now in the present day. If I were to recommend any quick read to a person it would have to be this book. I love it! This book applies to all ages. I would specifically recommend this book to children in grades five through nine. This book, Holes, is a fantastic piece of literature.

Rating:  Summary: THis is a great Book!!!! Review: The book Holes, written by Louis Sachar, is a strange yet interesting book that tells about a teenage boy who is forced to dig 1 hole a day at a juvenile detention center for boys. He was sent here for a crime he didn't commit. There were many things I liked and disliked about this book. One of the things I disliked was the ending. It seemed to end to abruptly and it seemed unfinished. Yet there were many things I liked alot about the book. The author creates a way for the reader to feel like all of this is happening to them. The feeling of confusion and fear really helped the reader to understand the actions and feelings of the characters. I would definatly read this book again.

Rating:  Summary: Dig It Review: The book I am reviewing is Holes by Louis Sachar. I think the book should get five stars because it was a great book. I also liked the book because it told you so much about the story from the title of the book. This story is good but is also confusing. Every chapter is switching back through time. The book Holes is also very exciting and cool because it has great sentences and words. I liked the part when the warden, Stanley and Zero found the gold. I also liked when Zero found his mom. But my favorite part is when Stanley stole Mr. Sir's truck. I think the book Holes is a perfect book because it is so funny. I really like this book. THE END.
