Summary: A great book for you teens!
Review: If you are a teenager looking for a fun and exiting book, Holes is a book for you. If a bad boy is threatened by his warden to did a huge hole each day, he is going to do it, and learn to be a good boy. Stanley Yelnats isn't a bad boy, he was convicted of a crime he didn't commite, which personaly i think stinks. Stanley gets fed up with digging Holes and runs away from camp, which the conslers do not care, because it is not lickly to survive with only a canteen full of water. I know I could never survive for 10 days like Stanley did with only a canteen full of water. Well maybe a could if i had someone with me like Stanly did, it gives you an extra ammount of energy. Un like me, luck was always on Stanley and his friend Zero's side, because they found food and water to survive on, but not until they went for 5 grueling days with 2 oz of water a day. If this book teaches you anything, I hope it is to stay out of trouble!

Summary: Holes
Review: I think that this was the best book I have ever read. I really enjoyed reading the book. Even though the story was complicated it all came together very well at the end. It is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats( his fist named is the same as his last but backwards) who is sent to Camp Greenlake, a boys detentional center, because he was framed for stealing Clyde Livingston's shoes. The author wrote this story very well and I recommend this story to children or adults.

Summary: There were no hoes in this book....
Review: There were no holes in the book Holes by Louis Sachar. In this book a boy named Stanley Yelnats is sent to Camp Greenlake, a Juvenile Detention camp in the middle of Texas. There is only one catch; Camp Greenlake doesn't live up to it's picturesque name. Camp Greenlake is located in the middle of a dry barren stretch of land in Texas, where temperatures often reach over 100 F each day! There's no lake and nothing green except two trees that stand tall in front of the Warden's cabin. Camp isn't like camp there, it's more like a year from heck. Each day, each boy has to dig a hole. That sounds easy right? Well, it's not that simple... the hole must me 5 feet deep and 5 feet wide. The horrible warden says "If you take a boy and make him dig a hole everyday in the hot sun, it will turn him into a good boy." Stanley and his fellow "campers", Zero, Barf-Bag, Armpit, Cave Man, Zig-Zag and the others think that there is another reason that they are digging the holes. Come to find out the Warden is making them dig and search the dry lake bed for the treasure of Kissing Kate Barlow, a woman who lived in Greenlake when there was still a lake. When her crush dies, Sachar shows the reader a different side of Kate. The book takes an amazing turn near the end of the story. Louis Sachar does a wonderful job of telling the fictional life of a 14 year old boy and his journeys at Juvenile Detention Camp. I would give this book 4.5 stars because it was wonderfully written and the only thing I think Sachar could have added or changed is in the ending. I think he should have told the reader a little more about his later life then he did. This book definitely deserves the National Book Award it won and I would definitely recommend it to all of you.

Summary: ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
Review: This book I would have to say is one of the best books I have ever read. The story is about an unlucky boy named Stanley Yelnats ( notice his last name is his first name backwards). His family has been cursed for years. Stanley is sent to a boys detentional center because he was framed stealing Clyde Livingston's shoes ( although they fell on his head from the sky). Now a review from me can't explain at all how good this book is so if you have any questions, read the book.

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: I loved this book. It's about a boy named Stanley Yelnats, his last name is his frist, just backwards. Anyways, Stanley is cursed. It all started with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing great-great grand father. Stanley gets blamed for something he did not do and is sent to Camp Greenlake for punishment. I would rate this book 5 stars because it's funny and a good book for children of all ages or even adults who are children at heart.

Summary: Excellent book for adults and kids both.
Review: I'm a 37 year old picky reader, and I loved this book. I see that lots of other adults love it too. It was recommended to me by my son, who says it's his new favorite. This is the second book we've both shared with enthusiasm, the other being SIGHTS BY SUSANNA VANCE. Both are exciting literature with huge voice!

Summary: A reader from Philadelphia ,PA
Review: I first heard about Holes from two kids in my class. They said it was really good. When I read the book I saw it was really good. I don't really like to read books; well I do, but I'm pretty picky about the books I read. Holes is about a boy who goes to a disciplinary camp because people thought he stole a pair of shoes that belonged to a baseball player. The shoes were worth 5,000 dollars. So he would have to stay at the camp for 18 months. While there the boy (Stanley) met many other kids. Stanley said it was hard at the camp, the hardest thing of his life.

Summary: Captivating for young and old(er)
Review: I'm not sure that I understand why the marketers have limited this novel by targetting it to adolescents. OK, so it's about children, but then so was 'Lord of the Flies' OK, so I did study 'Lord of the Flies' as an adolescent at school (and hated it). 'Holes' actually made me think of a very grim adult novel that is one of my favourites - 'The Tartar Steppe' by Dino Buzatti. It has the same sort of deprived and remorseless undertaking of apparently futile tasks. But 'The Tartar Steppe' remains remorseless and grim whereas 'Holes' unfolds to a satisfying resolution. I read this novel after reading a recommendation on a discussion thread. I must now go back to the recommender and say thankyou!
