Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I felt so lucky I wasn't there.
Review: This book made me feel so horrible about the boys there. I feel so incredibly lucky that I wasn't there!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best book that I have read
Review: Defenitly one of my favorite top ten books. Take it from a ten year old, you won't be able to put it down if you read it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My 4th grade class didn't want me to stop reading it to them
Review: My kids were hooked from the first sentence. It opened lots of avenues for discussion in class and was a wonderful introduction to subplots in writing. They groaned when I stopped reading it each day. That is a testamony of the highest order!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a delightful book
Review: My husband had Holes to read to see if it would be appropriate for his third-graders. I picked it up on vacation and loved it. The interweaving of several storylines, past and present, is wonderful. I enjoyed being surprised as the past somehow managed to always help out in the present. I read Harry Potter at the same time and enjoyed that as well, but Holes is a much more sophisticated, inventive book. I'd recommend it to advanced third graders up to adults.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a rainy day read
Review: At first this book freaked me out 'cause it was kinda out there in a realistic way... but the more I read the more I got into it and at the end I decided it was a good book just different and strange in an enthralling sorta way

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Instant Classic!! Louis Sachar is a storytelling artist!
Review: I'm 29 and purchased Holes for my friend's 10 year old son. I decided to read it before giving it to him to make sure it was a good pick. I was not disappointed!! Sachar can really weave a story together. This book is better written than most of the adult bestsellers on the market and, yet, its a book that will instantly capture the attention of any child. The way Sachar links Stanley Yelnats' dilemma/adventure with the wild and wonderful past of Camp Green Lake is pure imagination at its finest!

Sachar has also mastered the art of rationing out just the right amount of information at just the right time to keep the reader on the edge of his seat. There is a surprise at every turn! Although I had my suspicious about what Stanley would find if he dug enough holes at Camp Green Lake, this book was anything but predictable. Reading it was pure joy and I was sorry, upon finishing it, to leave behind the wonderful characters.

Children of all ages love being read to and this book is a perfect choice for parents/teachers to enjoy with their kids! I wish there were more contemporary adult writers who could spin as original a tale as Holes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this book!
Review: Holes is a great book. When I read this book I was sweating because it is always tense. It is one of those books where you can't stop reading. It starts kind of boring when you don't expect any thing something suddenly happens!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Book

Rating: 5 stars
