Summary: Holes
Review: Stanley's ALWAYS had bad luck,and so did his father..and his grandfather and everyone is his family ever since his "no-good pig-stealing great grandfather",as this little name implies,had a problem with a pig-don't want to spoil anything.So he's gotten used to destiny pushing him around.What's the big deal about going to some camp in the desert where he has to dig a hole 5 feet wide and deep everyday?Despite its being horrible,Stanley never minded being at the bad end of luck.Who would have thought going there would turn the tables?
And what are they trying to find by digging in the sand?Is it linked with Stanley's bad history?
Flashbacks help make this book enjoyable.
I recommend this book to everyone.It has been a while since the bad-luck-all-the-time-turning-into-good-look-miraculously plot has been used in a book,this is one of the best ones out there

Review: The book is Holes. It is funny. Some of the parts I liked about this book were when Stanley's Dad was doing an experiment on sneakers. Another good part was when Stanley was digging and he found Kissing Kate Barlow's lipstick case. It's a realy good book.

Summary: What`s In The HOLES ?
Review: In my class I did a report on the book Holes. I thought this book was very exciting and interesting. I enjoyed it very much. The book Holes was a good book. If you saw the movie then you should also read the book because there are differences between the book and the movie. Its about a kid whose family is cursed and was sent to a boot camp for bad kids where they had to dig holes five feet deep and five feet wide. Why do they have to dig holes every day? Mr. Sir the camp counselor says to build character. Do you think that's why they have to dig holes?

Summary: READ THIS IT IS GOOD!
Review: I was doing a book report in English class and I chose the book Holes. It was a very good book. There were parts I liked, and parts that I thought were unfair. A part I liked was when Stanley first arrived and met Mr. Sir. A part that was not fair was when Stanley found something while he was digging and another boy that was digging in a different hole got the rest of the day off insted of Stanley. The thing they are digging for is a box. SO YOU MUST READ THIS! If you don't you are missing out on a good mystery. The question is do they find what they are looking for or don't they?

Summary: Dig up Holes
Review: Would you like to dig five feet deep holes in the blazing hot sun in the middle of Camp Green Lake with no lake? Well this is what happens to Stanley in Louis Sachar's book Holes.
Holes is about a boy named Stanley that has a family curse. He ends up going to Camp Green Lake for stealing a pair of shoes. Well he really did not steal them they fell out of the sky and the cops said he stole them He meets a kid that cant read or write but he can dig faster than anyone. His name is Zero. He makes friends with some people with unique names; Squid, X-Ray, Magnet, Armpit, and Zigzag. The plot is when Zero leaves and Stanley goes looking for him. Will Stanley find Zero? Read the book to find out.
I think the theme of this book is to learn discipline and respect others judge someone from the inside and not the out. I recommend that you see the movie first to see and understand the book. So if you are looking for a good book, dig up Holes by Louis Sachar.

Summary: Holes is tuly one of kind!
Review: The title of this book is Holes, was written by Louis Sachar, and I give it a FIVE STAR rating. The book's plot is about the main character, Stanley Yelnats, and his life at a juvenile camp for boys.
Stanley Yelnats was not what you would call a popular boy. In fact, he was quite unpopular and unlucky. All males in the Yelnats clan had been put under a curse by Madam Zeroni, and the curse definitely came into play throughout the whole story. Stanley was accused of stealing a pair of very important tennis shoes, and was sent to Camp Green Lake (a camp for juvenile delinquents). Upon arrival, Stanley learns that every day he must get up at 4 A.M. and go out into the desert surrounding Camp Green Lake and dig a five foot hole. The hole had to be five feet in depth and width. One day while out digging, Stanley found what he thought was a bullet shell with the initials "KB" on it, and he reported it to the Warden. During this whole process, Stanley (who the boys called the Caveman) made friends with a boy named Zero and taught him to read. Zero tried to escape and ran away, so Stanley ran away to try and find him before he died of dehydration. Both boys decided that they could not go back to Camp Green Lake, so they went to the mountains.
Both boys found out that the hole that Stanley had found the bullet shell in contained a whole suitcase full of treasire stolen many years ago, so they sneaked back to Camp Green Lake to try and find it. However, the Warden found them as they were climbing out of the hole and claimed that the treasure was hers. However, Stanley's lawyer came to the rescue, and got both boys out of Camp green Lake. The lawyer also managed to get the supervisors at Camp Green Lake arrested for unlawful practices at the camp.
Other books I recommend include Roses Are Red, Jurassic Park, The Client, and Kiss the Girls.

Summary: Whole - Complete
Review: Yep. It's just that good. Every school in this country is reading this book. Every booklist recommends it. Every child has or will know its plot before they grow old. It is simple. It is a classic. It is brilliant. It is "Holes".So what's the big deal about this story? Anyone reading the plot will puzzle over the commendations it has received. In it, Stanley Yelnats (note that his name is spelled the same, backwards and forwards) is sent to Camp Green Lake for a crime he did not commit. At a detention camp in the middle of a desert, Stanley must dig a hole as long, wide, and deep as his shovel every day. Along with his compatriots he seems to be searching for something. But what? The book follows Stanley, a fat white boy, and the variety of different kinds of people he finds himself encamped with. After reading this book, my husband commented that it is a small encapsulation of white America's current state of slavery and the apologies we should make. At first I couldn't see it. Now I can. In the climax of this story Stanley carries Zero, an African American youth abandoned by his mother, up a mountain fulfilling a curse placed on the Yelnats from generation to generation. The camp itself is simply a slave state for kids that no one wants or cares about. Themes of illiteracy and assumptions about what people can and can not learn are brought up. The book is deceptively simple. It reads particularly well for young readers but contains themes and thoughts larger than I thought you could place in a book so small. It will not date. It will only grow more interesting over time.
