Summary: Holes
Review: Holes
I like the book Holes because some boy named Stanley Yelnats got arrested because of some shoes he found. Instead of going to jail he went to a camp. The name of the camp is Camp Green Lake. The reason why I liked this book is because I like mystery books. Stanley almost dies in the end. He and his friend decide to dig one more hole and he ran into a lizard that can kill him. They find something. If you want to know what happens you should read this book. I recommend this book.

Summary: Read all about it!
Review: Wouldn't you think it was unfair if someone accused you of something you didn't do? Holes, a realistic fiction novel, is a story about a boy who learns how to solve this situation and how one should never give up even when things get hard.
Stanley Yelnats is the main character of this book, and throughout the novel, he proves to be a brave, friendly boy, who is ready to help his friends no matter what the consequences. Stanley teaches many other boys what friendship is all about, and he covers up for other people's mistakes. The adventures of his life all take place in Camp Green Lake, Texas, a camp for bad boys where Stanley and his new friends have to dig holes all day long. This story is set in the present. Stanley's life changes when he is accused of stealing a famous pair of shoes, that actually fell on his head as he was walking down the street. The judge finds Stanley guilty, and he gives him a choice; jail or Camp Green Lake. Stanley decides to go to the camp, where he meets many other boys like him. Little Zero, a boy who cannot read nor write, becomes Stanley's buddy and by the end of the book has turned into an intelligent kid, who has been greatly influenced by the protagonist.
If young readers are looking for a way to live a great adventure and to experience real emotions, I honestly believe that Holes will satisfy their curiosity. I recommend this book to every guy or girl that is ready to be subjected to a special, different style of writing. Louis Sachar is an incredibly creative and talented author, who has the power to turn his books into reality, and who makes it impossible for readers to forget his stories.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Holes: An Adventure
Review: Louis Sachar has made yet another masterpiece that shows his brilliant genius in writing. Holes, an award-winning book is a well thought out jigsaw puzzle that pieces together as you read. In his words Louis Sacher has you sitting on the edge, expecting something, and getting something totally different.
This book all starts a 100 years ago in a town near a large blue lake filled with life, sunshine and happiness. But the story really begins a 100 years later, when Stanley Yelnats is accused of stealing a pair of shoes and sent to a place that has not rained for a 100 years, called Camp Greenlake. It is a barren, hot, desert wasteland, with no shade except for two trees. Stanley is supposedly taught self-discipline as he digs holes.
You will meet Mr. Pendanski, Mr. Sir, and the Warden. But someone you can't miss is Zero. Everyone calls him that because; " there is nothing inside his head." Soon you will really get to know Zero, and you discover he is actually a very brilliant kid, who has a weird relationship somehow with Stanley.
Stanley is the main character in this book. You watch this kid, although innocent of crime, make friends with people he never knew he could. What is most remarkable is that his thoughts and voice come out so honest and captures the exactness of a real boy.
The real theme of this story is learning to like your self and gaining confidence. But when Louis Sachor adds the slight twist of Stanley's No-good-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather and the mysterious adventure you laugh out loud and really start to enjoy more than the moral. There are three main stories in this book.
One is the life of Stanley's great-great grandfather, second is of the outlaw Kate Barlow, and lastly is of modern day Stanley. They are connected together with many things and the author jumps back and forth through these tales to unwind a mystery. You will be amazed at how many secrets unfold as this story opens up. Read this book and bonanzas the real reason for digging holes and watch two lonely boys find themselves.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: interesting
Review: Holes is an adventure story. It was about the adventure of a boy named Stanley. The story was very weird but interesting. It has all those weird characters in it, such as some boys named X-ray, zigzag and Zero; also the setting and descriptions were great. This story taught me how to not give up on hope no matter what kind bad conditions you have.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Holes
Review: I liked this book because it had lots of funny things in it, and the book was kind of sad and kind of mean and boring. It was an adventure, where two kids found refuge at gods thumb, they found a field of onions, which they ate and took back to the camp where they were at. A kid named stanley and zero went to gods thumb, and stanley's dad found a way to recycle old sneakers, the recipe was onions and spiced peaches.

Rating: 5 stars
