Summary: Holes
Review: The story is about a boy named Stanley. He steels some shoes so the judge says that he has to go to camp green lake. But this camp is not a regular camp; it's for bad people who have done bad things and for this punishment they have to dig a hole for how big the shovel is. I think they put a lot of details and you will never stop reading Holes. So if you like reading books read Holes. I really enjoyed it. I think you will too!

Summary: Not what I thought it might be.
Review: The story is about a kid who gets sent to court and then out to a boys camp for a crime he did not do(stealing a pear of shoes). He meets some kids out there, becomes bubbies with them, and near the end makes a break for home with one of them named zero.

Being a fan of jail break stories, the book sounded pretty good.
Boy, was I wrong about that.
The story was totally unbeliveable, is over done, and makes no scence at all. I should have thought more about what I was getting into. I could see where a little kid would like this, or someone who dose not think about the realism of what there reading. This book had lots of holes in it.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Good but not the greatest
Review: The story take place at Camp Green Lake juvenile detention facility in the middle of Taxes where there's no lake, and hardly anything is green. The "bad boys" that have been sended there need to dig a hole that is 5 feet wide and 5 feet deep. The reason?"If you take a bad boy and make him dig a hole every day in the hot sun, it will turn him into a good boy." is the respond.

Stanley Yelnats gets accused of stealing some professional baseball player's shoes. He was sent to "Camp Green Lake" to serve his punishment. His great-great-no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-grandfather was cursed by a blind Gypsy Madam Zeroni. There are several connections between the past and the present throughout this whole book. If you don't pay attention you won't understand, so you better pay attention if you really want to know what's going on in this book.

This book is is filled with surprise,excitement, fun, friendship, suspension, and feeling. There are many humors that can prevent readers from getting depressed. Friendship are potrayed smoothly between Stanley and Zero,and the moral of the book is very great. This book is great, but there are several downside. For example, overlarge coincidence, the Yello-Spotted lizards make the plot a bit unrealistic and confusing.Also, some scene(especially the time when the camp owner administered some rattlesnake poison) is not suitable for children under 9. Overall, there are better books (especially for children) than this one(such as a Wrinkle in Time, The hobbit, Nothing but the Truth, etc, etc) but you should read it if you have the time. B+

Summary: 6th grader
Review: The story was okay but I wouldn`t really recommend it. My favorite charactor was Kate because she is brave and has a lot of heart. My favorite line is when Sam says, "I can fix that"because he cares about Kate and would do anything to make her happy. The strong points are when Stanley and Zero are always there for each other. The weak point is when Elya is in love with a woman who has a head as empty as a flowerpot! Though I didn` t like the book, maybe you would!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mind Boggling Coincidences, Great Plot!
Review: The story-Stanley is sentenced to go to Camp Green Lake when he is innocent. There is no lake at Camp Green Lake. It's like a desert. "Bad boys" go there to "build character by digging dirt". Each day, Stanley, and everyone else there, must dig one whole that is 5 ft deep and 5 ft all the way around. At first it's hard, but he gets used to it. He meets new friends there, everyone has a nickname. He soon discovers that the people that work at Camp Green Lake aren't just making "bad boys" dig to build character, but because the Warden is looking for sumthing. But what could the Warden be looking for? What will Stanley find and decide along his "trecerous" adventure?

Comments-This book was great! It had one of the best plots ever! Everything soon adds up and connects in some way! There was a barely a boring moment! I could hardly put the book down! It's very rare that I would react this way toward any book or even finish a book on my own will in such a short time. I would have finished hte amazing book sooner if I had more time to. It has a satisfying ending too! Throught out the book, the character and the author makes sarcastic and FUNNY comments! I actually laughed out loud several times! READ IT!

Rating: 5 stars
