Summary: Holes, A Book About a kid.
Review: Holes
By Louis Sachar
Reviewed by M Kim
p6
Holes is about a young boy named Stanley Yelnats who is unlawfully accused of stealing a pair of shoes who belonged to a famous baseball. Stanley is sent to a type of juvenile facility called Camp Green Lake. Everyday the kids in the place must dig holes five feet deep and five feet in diameter. This may be easy but they have to watch out for tarantulas, lizards, rattlesnakes, and other obstacles.
The reason why they must dig is because the owner wants to look for buried treasure which belonged to a villain called Kissing' Kate Barlow. When they said "If you take a bad boy and make him dig a hole every day in the hot sun, it will turn him into a good boy" I was thinking this is ridicules. Plus Stanley kept on blaming his bad luck on his "no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather!"
I liked it a lot because it was interesting and adventurous. It kept me reading day and night. I reccomend this book to everybody.

The book Holes is about a young boy named Stanley Yelnats that was sent to Camp Green Lake because he was accused of doing something bad. This camp is not green and doesnt have a lake. It is a flat land that is extremely hot. At camp the boys would have to dig holes 5 feet thick and 5 feet wide. The warden is looking for something so that is why the boys are sent to dig holes. There at the camp, they all have nicknames such as armpit, zero, zigzag, x-ray, squid, magnet, and caveman which is Stanleys nickname. Stanley Yelnats thinks that he is under his curse because of his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather. After all the days of digging under the hot sun, Stanley and his friend zero decide to sneak out. They suffer greatly when this happens because they have no source of water especially since their under the hot sun. When they get caught, they get in big trouble.

I liked this book because it was really adventorous. It makes you want to continue to read because you want to find out what Stanley and Zero does next when their away. A reason why i dislike this book is because sometimes it becomes confusing. The story goes back and forth between Stanley at Camp Green Lake, and the past. You have to make sure you read every line because if you miss one line you may be confused because it may be at a different time period and you wouldn't know. This book became very confusing at some points.

The favorite part about this book is that they made nicknames for each person. I think nicknames are a fun way to tell about peoples attitude and what their like. One of the funest nickaname that i thought was funny was Stanley's great great grandfather. The name is so funny and it everytime i read the name it makes me laugh.

Summary: Holes review
Review: I thought that this book was very ineresting & funny.When you are reading the book you get to learn and you get to have fun.So far my favorite part is when Madame Zeroni tellw Stanleys great great grandfather to carry a pig up and down the mountain everyday to get a wife and when he doesn't he gets cursed.Also the things you learn from this book are:
1.Most of the time when you stand up for your friends you or your friend will not get punished.
2.If things do not always go the way you want them to, everything will be o.k.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My thoughts on Holes
Review: I thought that the "Holes" book was great!!!! I especially liked it when the Warden scratched Mr. Sir on the face with the snake venom. Also when the boys run away and they find the jars of peaches and onions and they eat them. Then the yellow spotted lizards come and crawl all over the boys, but they never bite them. I could red this book 2 thousand times and I would never get tired of it. I think that everyone should rean this book because it is so exciting, funny, and full of life!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars

The auther never wrote a boring part in the story. It made you want to keep reading. This book was great and I would like to read it agin and agin. this book showed me how bad it would be to go to a prison camp.
