Summary: Holes Is Awesome
Review: Stanley ends up at a camp. He has to dig a hole 5 feet deep and wide every day. One day his friend runs away. He goes after him on a journey that leaves him and his family rich. Also in another plot his great-great-great- grandfather fails to complete a deal. Which leaves his family cursed. Stanley completes the deal. In a book where two plots come together and you half to read it a second time to understand. I would recommend this book to anybody and everybody. Two thumbs up for Holes.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun with a learning twist
Review: Holes is a fun book that teaches the reader some powerful lessons. Stanley learns that you can't tell how smart someone is until you get to know them. Zero learns that he has something to offer the world and has a reason to look forward to the future. They both learn that they can influence what happens to them regardless of what others try to do to keep them down. We all learn that we have to trust our instincts and try to find a way to do the right thing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Indescribably wonderful
Review: I've written many reviews, but Holes is as hard as it gets. With a seemingly ridiculous plotline that somehow makes sense, and developments so wild and out of control they're utterly perfect, and integrating two storylines that are decades apart, Sachar is brilliant and incredible. Here he does what he does best: writing well, writing for fun, and writing to make a point. Countless morals can be found even in a story that can't fall into any category (is it realistic fiction? sci-fi? fantasy?) except for excellent. (And if this review is confusing, you simply have to read the book to figure it out.)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tha Best Book I Have Ever Read In My Entire Life!!!
Review: This is tha highest of Newberry Honor books I have ever read! This book is made for the young adult, but can be read by any ages above ten (including adults)! Not only does Holes have flare and a sense of taste, but it boils up a story that is incredibly interesting-while having two stories come together at the end, making this magnificant book by tha ever-so humorous Louis Sachar a wonder!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Let's dig some Holes
Review: I thought this book was totally boring at the begining. I had to read it for summer school lists. My mom would ask me what was going on in the book, and I always said that they were digging holes. The end is the best. I got to about chapter 24 and started liking it. It was a exellent story, with a great lesson.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved it...
Review: I loved this book. Suffice it to say I started reading it on Friday afternoon and watched the sun come up Saturday morning. I could not bear to put it down. What is worse (or is it better?), I told my husband he HAD to read it, and well, he started reading it Saturday and stayed up well into the early hours of Sunday.

The book had an unusal tone and storyline. It totally gripped me because I didn't know where the story was leading to and how it was going to end. I especially liked Stanley and Zero's friendship, and Stanley's relationship with his parents. There was something so touching about those relationships. Although written for children, it really "spoke" to me, an adult well over the recommended reading age of 9-12.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Read carefully!!!
Review: Holes is one of the most amazing, most intricate books that I have ever read. When you read it, you have to be sure to notice every little bit of information, right down to the story of Stanley Yelnats' no-good-dirty-rotton-pig-stealing-grandfather. Even pay attention to the facts about the yellow-spotted lizards. If you don't remember everything, you will get horribly lost in this book. But even if you don't remember everything, the book is still awesome.
