Rating: Summary: What were the Newbery judges thinking? Review: Well, I, an adult reader, picked it up since it won the Newbery, and I can't imagine why. It's far too contrived and unbelievable to be taken as worthy. Honestly, the last name of Yelnats just to make a palindrome. And coincidence is packed on top of coincidence, descendant after descendant showing up in the story, it's just far too much for an adult to stomach. *Burp!*
Rating: Summary: Great Review: I am reading Holes at the time and when ever I put the book down I regret it it is so good.
Rating: Summary: It is a book that deserves the Newbery Medal for 1999. Review: The book "Holes" is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats who is sent to a camp called Camp Green Lake, where he does not want to be. (Yelnats is Stanley backwards). The book has TONS of exciting parts and often keeps you guessing about what's going to happen next. I say you should read Holes, even if you are an adult. I am a 9 year old girl, and I loved the book!
Rating: Summary: It was an okay book, not a great one for experienced readers Review: The book has some action and adventure but some parts were over-written, I mean repeated.
Rating: Summary: very,very good Review: I liked this book because of how things fall into place, but I don't want to give any examples because I don't want to give anything away.It starts out when Stanley Yelnats (spelled the same way forwards as backwards)went to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention facility in a dried up lake, for a crime he didn't do. There he had to dig a hole five feet deep and five feet wide every day. He had one friend,with a nickname,Zero, who Stanley was teaching how to read (if you read the book you will find out why that is significant.) Zero another one of the main characters. One day he dug up something very important-but I don't want to give anything away. I really think that you should read this book (especially if you're in my class)so you can find out why it won the Caldecott.
Rating: Summary: This was a very good book and all ages will love it. Review: I think this was a very good book how Stanley Yelnats had bad luck from his great great pig stealing grndfather. just because he stole a pig. And how Zero's great great grandmother was maddam Zeroni. I think this was a very good book. And thanks for signing my book Louis Sachar in Kent Ohio.
Rating: Summary: Holes is a godsend!!! Review: This is one of the best books ever!! I couldn't believe how great it was. I just couldn't put it down. Wow! At first I thought it was wierd with some strange satire and impossible, confusing events. But as it got better. I learned to accept it as my all time favorite book. Thank you Louis Sachar!
