Summary: Couldn't put it down!
Review: This compeling and uniquely written book is such a treasure! I started reading Holes and couldn't put it down. With the chapters being so short, it feels like a real quick read. This book is usually read in upper elementary or middle school, but as an adult I was absolutely impressed and interested. It was a unique blend of suspense, mystery, historical fiction, comedy, and drama. I would recommend this book to just about anyone.
I gave it four out of five stars only because I would have liked it to be longer! I was left with many questions at the end and the longing to know more.

Summary: Great "Read Aloud" book for Teachers & Parents
Review: This exciting story was the perfect read on the plane coming back to Iowa from a teacher's meeting. It is suspenseful, occasionally humorous and absolutely rivoting. You won't be able to put it down. I shared it with other teachers at school and they are now reading it aloud to our upper elementary classes. Besides the twists and turns to the plot, and the many connections from past to present, the book has a message of hope for all kids that have ever felt like they didn't "fit in". Our students and teachers will always look at "holes" a bit differently after reading this terrific story. I highly recommend this book to anyone from 8-80.

Summary: Holes READ ALL ABOUT IT!!!!!
Review: This great book I'm reviewing is Holes by Louis Sachar. I think this book deserves five stars. The book is about a kid whose name is Stanley Yelnants the fourth. He always claims he is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Stanley also claims that Clyde Livingston's cleats fell from the sky, so he took them. I really think you should read this awesome book!

Summary: Addicted to onions......
Review: This has fast become one of my favorite books. Now have read it twice it, still(unlike many stories targeted at younger audiences)holds up incredibly well. Its quite an amazing story. Or rather two stories inttwined perfectly together to complement eachother and come together in one big climax. Its a strange bizarre tell. I'm so glad They're making a movie of it, the question is..."Will Justice be done?", that's my concern. Because its an amazing tale. A tale about societies unerdogs coming out on top. A tale of keeping promises, a tale of destiny, a tale of hope, a tale of courage, and many others. But above all it is story about friendship. A very unlikely one at that. Holes is a very strangely great book. You may expect very little, but you'll most likely come out with alot. God Bless ~Amy

Summary: Amazingly writen!
Review: This incredibly imaginative book, about Stanley Yelnats who feels the effects of alienation, is one of the best books I have ever read! I read it in two days, because it was so well written. It reads so easy and is very easy to follow. As a 16 year old, I would recommend this book for any age. I feel that anyone who has ever had a bad day(in Stanley's case, many bad days) or bad luck can relate to this book. I have read many books relating to alienation, but this is the best one which really captures the entire "rites of passage," so to speak.
Stanley is caught stealing and is given the choice of going to Camp Green Lake or to jail. He goes to Camp Green Lake(which actually doesn't have a lake), and finds out that he must dig a hole 5ft. deep and 5ft wide in every direction every day, supposedly to build character(hmm...is that the real reason?)... not my idea of fun. Stanley through his experiences at Camp Green Lake, finds friendship, and eventually acceptance for being himself, which is a wonderful message for any person.
Sachar tells two stories at once, which intertwine in a wonderfully imaginative way. One of the stories is of Stanley Yelants, and the other story is of Stanley's "dirty-rotten-no-good-pig-stealing-great-great grandfather," Stanley come from a line of people that have had bad luck, all because his great-great grandfather didn't keep a promise to an old Egyptian lady, and stole her pig(obviously this is why he earned the above title).
I had the best time reading this book, It does have one draw back...if you like lots of Action(like a Harry Potter book)you don't get that with this book, but still this is wonderfully crafted and a credit to Sachar's writing.
