Rating:  Summary: Actoin book Review: This is a very good book. Holes is one of the very best books I have ever read.The book is about a boy named Stanley who was poor a little and one day he was at the wrong place at the wrong time. So he goes to jail but it really wasn't a jail. It was like you had to go in the desert and dig a hole every day. There was a reason why you had to dig up a hole. It was because of the owner the wardem. She heard that she had a ancestor that had some treasure in a brief case berried somewhere, thats why she has them digging holes. My favorite character is Stanley cause he never gave up. My favorite part in the book is when Stanley and Zero runs away.This is one of the best books ever.
Rating:  Summary: Read this or pay the price Review: This is a very good book. I've read it so many times that I could recite it. The book I'm talking about is called Holes by Louis Sachar. this epic adventure is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats. He was mistaken to have done a crime which he really didn't do. He was taken to a labor camp. But this wasn't just any labor camp. This camp made boys dig holes five feet deep and five feet wide. They had to dig at least one hole every day. I hope you read this book because you will like it.
Rating:  Summary: THIS IS THE COOLIST BOOK YOU CAN READ! Review: THIS IS ABOUT A BOY THAT GITE SINT TO CAMP FOR.18 MOUNT BECAUSE THE PEOPLE. THAT HE STOL SHOEL FROM THE HOMELESS SHLTER. AND HIS FAMILY HAD BEN CURS BY HIS DAD DAD.AND IF I TELL YOU ANY MORE I WILL RUNIT THE BOOK.
Rating:  Summary: Brilliant, for all ages Review: This is an absolutely brilliant and moving story. If it had been around when I was 13, I would have been unable to put it down. Now, I'm 31, and I am unable to put it down. You simply don't have to be young or adolescent to enjoy this book. It is just specific and detailed enough to paint a vivid picture, and also (like many of Samuel Beckett's best books) just abstract enough to be timeless. Stanley Yelnats--the main character, a nebbish punished (like all of us, occasionally) without any sense of fairness--does not make us relate to him by being a superficial copy of anyone. He, and the other characters--especially Mr. Sir, a macho overseer, and the other boys enduring youth correction camp--are understandable because they are so very *real.* Every character in the book is like a statue carved in wood, and etched with both wit and compassion. Mark my words--people will still be reading this book 100 years from now. They may be astounded to know that it dates back all the way to the early 21st Century.
Rating:  Summary: An Excellent book that you will want to read again and again Review: This is an engaging tale of one boys' hope and struggels through the most difficuflt disturbing camps, yet somehow he still makes freinds and positive memories out of the worst summer of his life.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent! Review: This is an excellent adventure of a young boy who is down on his luck. My students LOVE this book! It is an easy reading book that you just can't put down. You have to keep reading to find out what is going to happen next. Great book!
Rating:  Summary: By an excellen author Review: This is an excellent book by the aouthor of, Sideways Stories from Wayside School, Louis Sachar is a gifted man with a touch for writing. Once you start reading Holess, you will not stop. I guarantee it. ( That is, unless you really HAVE to stop.) I've read this book over 3 times and I must say, that it is the best book that Sachar has written, This book is about Stanley Yelnats, a boy that was falsley accused of stealing a famous baseball player's tennis shoes. He goes to Camp Greenlake for punishment of what he didn't do. Every day, Stanley has to dig a hole, 5 feet across, and 5 feet vertically. When Stanley has been there for quite a while, he realizes that the kids at camp Greenlake aren't just digging to build character, but for something else! Can Stanley find out in time? Will he survive when he runs away? Find out in this amazing, dazzling book!
Rating:  Summary: A must read book!! Review: This is an excellent book for all ages. I think "HOLES" is one of the best books I've ever read. I liked how it kept the reader interested and intrigued to continue reading.
Rating:  Summary: ONE OF THE BEST NEWBERRY WINNERS EVER!!! Review: This is an excellent book for young readers. I'm 28 and I found it to be an exciting, unpredictable and imaginative book. I will be recommending to all of our young patrons in my library. Don't miss this one.
Rating:  Summary: A genius book by Louis Sachar Review: This is an excellent book, that is aimed toward a pre-teen audience, but should be read by anyone. A creative story about Stanley Yelnats (notice the name is the same back and foward) who gets sent to a boot camp to dig holes because he is accused of stealing an expensive pair of shoes. It tells about his adventure at the camp. This book should be read by anyone who wants to read a good book. (Mostly anyone!)
