Summary: Suitable book for all
Review: Sachar's book is suitable for both male and female readers. Readers as young as ten or eleven can enjoy Holes. Likewise, readers thirteen or fourteen years old could still find the story relevant and entertaining.
This Newbery book is predictably very safe. Surely, no one can object to anything said or done in Sachar's book. Relevant social issues make this book a good one for whole class instruction. Students will easily internalize this story and make countless connections with characters and plots.
This story is intriguing- a little sentimental- but intriguing. Stanley is everyone's woe-is-me poor self-esteem. The plot is a delightfully plain and simple mystery. The conclusion brings the good fortune in this lifetime to both Stanley and Zero.

Summary: The Best Book I Ever Read By:Richard Palmer
Review: I think of this book as one of the best books I have ever read before . The story was about a boy being sent to a camp for a crime he didn't commit. The best character I think in this book was Zero. Why? because he was the quiet one to me. My favorite part of the book was when they had to suvive on God's Thumb. I would encourage anyone to read this book, that means you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Actoin book
Review: This is a very good book. Holes is one of the very best books I have ever read.The book is about a boy named Stanley who was poor a little and one day he was at the wrong place at the wrong time. So he goes to jail but it really wasn't a jail. It was like you had to go in the desert and dig a hole every day. There was a reason why you had to dig up a hole. It was because of the owner the wardem. She heard that she had a ancestor that had some treasure in a brief case berried somewhere, thats why she has them digging holes. My favorite character is Stanley cause he never gave up. My favorite part in the book is when Stanley and Zero runs away.This is one of the best books ever.

Summary: The Book I almost fell asleep in
Review: Title of the book: Holes
By: Louis Sachar
Reviewed by: S.Choi
Period:4
This is a book about a boy that was named Stanely. He got into a mess and had to go to a boot camp sort of thing. In this camp the kids had to dig holes as deep as his shovel and as wide as his shovel all the way around. Stanley, who thought that the camp would be fun, went without knowing that he was not going to like the camp. Well, how he got there in the first place was a mix-up. He did not do any crime, but was asumed a crime that he had never done.
I disliked this book because it was going from the past to the present and I got confused many times. For example he would tell me about the past and suddenly it was in the present again. It was not really fun and I actually slept after I started to read the book. It was too detailed and too confusing for me to go through the book. It was worse then my worst book, which I only read a page. I read this book all because I thought it would get better, but it really did not. I thought the setting was extremely good even though the story was confusing. The setting was in the desert where there was no life, but a small area where there was the camp house. I liked it when it described the wheather and how the person described the feeling of digging in the got sun which completely could have burned every single boy's back. I also liked it when the author told of Stanley's letter when he sent it to his parents. It was like the author knew how a kind and educated boy would act.
My favorite part in this story was when Stanly was figuring out a clue with Zero. Zero was a boy that couldn't read or write. The digging was because of the past. They found out where the money was and they got it from the stories that were told to Stanely. When I read the book this was the only part I was awake in.

He was at school one day. While he was at school a man was in the position of stealing a pair of shoes and bunch of things that were for the poor people. As Stanely had recess a boy took his folders and put them in the toilet for fun. He ran in after him and when he found his folders that were wet. when he came out of the bathroom he saw girls and with humiliation he ran and ran. He was so embarresed and sad. While he was running a shoe came from the sky and hit him. What hit him was stolen and he was the one who had to go to a hot sunny smelly camp.

This book wasn't as good as I thought. I thought it would be good because almost everyone was reading it or had read it. Because of this I went to the library to borrow it. Long time ago I thought the cover was about the moon and I also thought that the meaning of Holes was the moons holes. Now I know that I was wrong and that this book had nothing to do about the moon.

Summary: Good Work!
Review: Holes
By Louis Sachar
Reviewed by: T.Lin
Period: P.4

This book is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats, his family whenever gets into trouble they would blame it on their no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing great great grandfather. A single shoe started his miserable life, one day when he was just walking on the streets a shoe fell from the sky, and it belonged to the famous baseball player, people thought Stanley stole it, so they accused him, and put him out into Camp Green Lake.

This book was a very detailed book. The descriptions for this book made me feel that I was in Camp Green Lake myself. The descriptions of the words really jumped out and grabbed you, and put you in the hot sandy desert of the Camp Green Lake. The details of the book described the sandy, hot desert, and all the time you would be dying for thirst. For example, "His mouth was dry and his throat hurt." "He stepped onto the hard, dry dirt."

In this book I didn't dislike anything about it. The descriptions were the best things about the book. One of my favorite parts of the story is when Stanley was digging he found a golden lipstick cap, and engraved on it was the letters KB. He didn't know what it was and why was it in the middle of the desert. If you want to find out read this amazing book.

One of my favorite parts is when Stanley found the golden lipstick container, and engraved on it was the mysterious letters KB. That was one of my favorite parts on the book. I really like that part because it was the part that made me jump again, and it let me sustain the reading.

Summary: The Holes of Camp Green Lake
Review: This one of the greatest and most mysterious books I've ever read. The main character, Stanley Yelnats, is accused of a crime (stealing a baseball player's shoe's) he didn't commit, and he is sent to a dried up lake called Camp Green Lake (it's a boy's detention center)as punishment. The boys that are at Camp Green Lake must wake up every morning and wake up at 4:30 a.m., and the boys have to dig a hole that is 5 feet deep and 5 feet wide, even on weekends and holidays! The Warden says that digging holes builds character, but Caveman (Stanley), Theodore (Armpit), Ricky (Zig Zag), X-Ray, Squid, and Hector Zeroni (Zero) aren't digging to build character, the Warden is looking for something. I liked the book because it was so emmotional, exciting, and adventurous. If you are in 4th grade or higher, you will enjoy this book.

Rating: 5 stars
