Summary: A Masterpiece
Review: I was originally turned on to this book after watching the movie of the same name. I enjoyed the movie, and thought that my children would enjoy the book. I borrowed the book from the library the next week and was surprised when I looked inside the cover at the list of other books written by the author---I was familiar with his work.I read my first Loius Sachar book when I was in grade school. The book was Sideways Stories from Wayside School. I loved it, and it's one of the books that fueled my love of reading. Intrigued by the discovery, I read the entire book that night (which was not hard to do because the book is intended for children ages 9-12). After reading the book, I was impressed at how well the movie stayed true to the book (which is usually quite rare for Hollywood to do). I was also impressed at how, after all these years the Loius Sachar was able to capture my attention so easily (especially since I already knew the whole story). The bottom line is that this book is a true masterpiece. I strongly recommend this book to any reader---both young and old. Parents will enjoy reading this book to their younger children, while the older children will simply enjoy the reading and (hopefully) yearn for more.

Summary: Hole
Review: I was introduced to holes by Louis Sachar by my English teacher. She recommended it to me. The story line is awesome. Holes is a book that proves everyone is guilty of something illegal in their life. This book is the most interesting book I have ever read compared to The Giver.

My rating of this book would be a five star, because t really I really enjoyed reading this book, and if I can do it, you can too.

Summary: An interesting adventure novel...
Review: Stanley Yelnats IV carries on the family curse, when he gets send to Camp Green Lake, a detention camp, for a "crime" he didn't commit. When Stanley arrives, he quickly realizes that the camp is not what he pictured. No lake, no shade, just lots of holes...Stanley joins a group of delinquent boys, who all wake up early to dig a hole a day in the dried-up lake bed where the camp is located. The story goes back and forth between Stanley IV and his ancestors, where we learn about the curse on his family. It's interesting moving back and forth in time and trying to figure out the exact mystery of why the boys are digging all the holes. A nice fast-moving read where everything is wrapped up in the end.

Summary: What a great book (for everyone)!
Review: This may be a Newbury Award winner for children's literature, but I'm 23 and it kept me interested and in suspense the whole time. The interlacing of the two stories, the present centering around Stanly and the past centering around the "ancient" Green Lake its seedy past, are perfect and masterful. The characters are simply done, but they have a massive dynamic, taking on a whole new life after "building character." It's a great adventure, a riveting drama, a raucous comedy and has one of the most satisfying and redeming endings I've read in any novel, current or classic. This is great for every reader of every age. I give it my highest recommendation possible!

Summary: boy who goes to camp for no reason!
Review: I chose this book because Louis Sachar is one of my favorite authors. I also chose this book because when I read what the story was about, it sounded like a great book. When I started reading the book, I just wanted to keep reading. Holes is about a character named Stanley. Stanley got sent to a place called Camp Green Lake because he was blamed for stealing shoes that belonged to a famous baseball player, Clyde Livingston. In Camp Green Lake he made some friends, Zero, Zigzag, Armpit, and X-ray. They all have to dig holes that are 5 feet deep and 5 feet wide. If they find something while digging, they're suppose to give it to the Warden. The Warden is a woman who is in charge of Camp Green Lake. What is exciting about the book is when Zero runs away and Stanley tries to go and find him. For all you who read my review I would personally read this book or at least give it a try. If people liked it, it would be spectacular to read. It's a fun book to read, but it is not very funny.
