Review: Louis Sachar is an amazing author (although you'd never guess it from his Wayside School books), and in this book he surpasses almost anything else I have ever read. With solid characters, an intricate plot(although you don't know until the end), and great writing, this is the book I would suggest first to anybody.

It's filled with lots of holes to fill in while still making it interesting and action packed. Louis Sachar really hints you off with metaphorical stuff. An example would be that the book is named Holes; the main character, Stanley is sent to a juvenile correctional facility and made to dig holes, while he digs them you must go back and forth in time to fill them in. The story is about a boy, Stanley, who's family is poor. He doesn't have many friends at school. He is "cursed by his great-great-grandfather." And he winds up at Camp Green Lake for supposedly stealing a pair of shoes. Stanley's character goes through a major change throughout the story. As you find out about things of the past you will learn more about people, Camp Green Lake, and how everything and everyone comes together. Read it.

In Camp Green Lake, the boys build character by digging holes exactly five feet wide and five feet deep. It does not take long for Stanley to realize that there is another reason why the boys sent to Camp Green Lake had to dig holes. Little by little, Stanley begins to dig up the truth in this dark tale of crime, punishment, and reparation.

A lot of peole don't believe in yellow spotted lizards either, but if one bites you, it doesn't make a diffrence whether you believe in it or not." Many grownups don't believe there is a "out of this world" children's book but if they read "Holes" by Louis sachar it doesn't matter if they believe in it or not. Louis Sachar did it again; he has transported his reader to the mind of an average child. "Holes"is meant for anyone over than eight. The main charecter lives in a humdrum world before that bang of the gavel that puts him in Camp Green Lake. This is not "Camp fun and Games" as the kid ( Stanley Yelnats IV) imagines it to be. This is a camp where juvenile delinquents are forced to labor by cruel taskmastars who are actually worse criminals than they are. The Yelnats family is poor because an old Egyptian set a curse on the family, only to be lifted when Stanly befriends her great grandson and saves him from death. Stanley lifts the curse of the family, and finds almost a million dollars belonging to the first Stanley Yelnats. The rest of this book you have to read for yourself, and you don't have to ask " your no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-greatgrandfather," if this is a good book just take this bit of advice from me.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Holes Review: Holes is now one of my favorite adventure books. I read it once in fifth grade and I recently read it out loud to my nine year old brother. He is really enjoying it and can't wait for me to finish. Stanley Yelnats is a regular teenager with a curse that started with his great great grandfather. He got sent to Camp Green Lake (even though as you will fid out, he is not the one who should be there) to dig holes, five feet by five feet. The boys at Camp Green Lake (Stanley, x-ray, Armpit, Zero, Twitch, and a few others) have to get up at four thirty evry morning. You might think that is early but if you lived on a dry desert it would be a relief to get up when it was still cool outside. Unfortunately the boys don't get water all the time, they have to wait until their cabin leader Mr. Sir brings them some. Trust me that is a time to be happy, if you only get a refill twice a day. Just when you think nothing else could go wrong something does. Then just when you think that there is no possible way to surrvie the terrors of Camp, there is a loophole to get you out. I hope all of you get a chance to read this amazing book by Louis Sachar.

Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: Mah review Review: Holes was a story within a story within a story. I liked how Sachar left you hanging at the end....he kept you thinking. I also liked the quotes that he used some of them are, "when i die who will dig my grave", and "every day i watched my parednts dig holes, when i got older i had to dig holes....even on Chritmas". I liked Sachar style. I think that he writes about what he likes. In the beginning of the story he used a pig that Elya had to carry up the mountain and he used the name Elya, that is not a common name but to him he may like it. In Camp Greenlake there are groups D,E,and F.All the kids in group Dhave nicknames. Stanley is Caveman. What i didnt like in Holes was that he used the number 3 too much. He should have used other numbers instead of 3. Also the story got confusing at times, he kept going to one story to another and i counldn't tell which story was which. This is what i think about HOles
