Rating:  Summary: Unique Review: This book is unlike any other children's book I've ever read. The plot and the characters draw you in---you'll find yourself reading this in one sitting. You can actually feel the heat in Camp Green Lake and the thirst you get from digging holes all day in the hot sun. The characters are incredibly distinct and you discover, as Stanley does, how you can never really depend on anyone else (and yet how we all need one another). There are no light moments in this book but it's not a depressing book. Buy it and you won't regret it!
Rating:  Summary: Terrible Review: THis book is very bad. It stunk up my whole room while I read it.Louis Sachar USED to be good.
Rating:  Summary: Stanley's curse. BY:Danielle and Heather. Review: This book is very exciting. This book starts out very intense with a young boy getting sent to a boy's camp for stealing a baseball star's shoes. At this camp Stanley has to dig one hole everyday. As the story goes on it keeps going back into the past talking about how a gypsy put a curse on a town. Onion Sam, a black man ,falls in love with a white women named Kathrine. This caused many conflicts in this town. Stanley's grandfather made it very hard on him. There are many imporant lessons in life that you should learn. The three lessons that I picked were not to steal, never give up, and life is hard. The first thing teaches you not to steal. Zero doesn't demonstrate that skill well thoroughout this book. The second thing is never give up. Zero and Stanley never give up when they were trying to find refuge. The last thing is life is hard. Life doesn't treat the people well in this book but they get over it. Although there were a lot of lessons in this book the three I picked were not to steal, never give up, and life is hard. This book is very exciting and interesting. I would recommend to read this book if you want an adventure.
Rating:  Summary: holes Review: This book is very good and I recomend it for ages 6-100. You get into the book really fast. I thought it was the best book I ever read . I give it two thumbs up. If I could give a higher amount of stars for this rating, I would.
Rating:  Summary: One of the best books I've ever read. Review: This book is very imaginative in a real life sort of way.It was simply wonderful.
Rating:  Summary: Holes Review: This book is very long and superstitious. stanley has good luck and bad luck trought the book. The book has a bit of bening in the wrong place at the wrong time. this is a widely known superstion. Holes is a wonderful book written by Louis Sachar. it influences teamwork and trust.thought the book deals with superstition and luck, it still upholeds a level of reality. this ficion novel is very clever. it is obveous Sachar spent a long time writting it.it is no wonder it won the NewBerry Medal.
Rating:  Summary: This is the book of books! Review: This book is very well put together! Two Stories almost totally unrelated come together in the most interesting way. This book has the most wonderful ending of any book I've ever read. And that is a lot of books. I could read this book millions of times and never get board. This is a must for everyone!
Rating:  Summary: HARRY POTTER WAY BETTER Review: This book is weird.Whoever thinks it is better than Harry potter is a weirdo.J.K. RULES (no offense Louis)
Rating:  Summary: Good, but very grim and gruesome; routine, casual cruelty Review: This book is well written and has interesting plot twists. Its depictions of the harsh cruelty in a boys' prison camp are disturbing, however. Had I know about them, I would not have bought this book for my nine year old.
Rating:  Summary: A fun read Review: This book is what my mom called a "sick book"--that is, a book that can be read easily in one day, that does not have a plot that is so complex it can't be understood when one is home sick in bed. Indeed, I read it recently while having a bout of the flu. I enjoyed it thoroughly, and it kept my thoughts away from my misery.I won't describe the plot in detail here, other than to say that it was fascinating, the characters were interesting, and the puzzle kept me intrigued. Yes, it's a bit surreal, but that is part of its charm. It definitely has a moral, also. I wouldn't get this book for a very young child; I wouldn't want them to take it too seriously, but certainly for an 8+ year old, try it!
