Holes (Thorndike Large Print Young Adult Seires)

Summary: Worthy addition to any home library
Review: "Holes" starts off with an interesting premise, a boy is unfairly accused of a crime he didn't commit, and is sent away to a kind of children's detention home where the unusual and cruel punishment is that each child must dig one hole per day, out in the heat and the glaring sun.
I like the topic of this book a lot but it also has a deeper message, the importance of friendship and honesty. I liked it a lot but perhaps the ending was a bit far-fetched. Still it's a great read and I recommend it to anyone regardless of age.

Summary: Great book!
Review: An excellent choice to read and re-read. I truly enjoyed this book. I have read it sixteen times! The book is possibly better than the Harry Potter series! I really enjoyed Louis Sachars humor, yet topic presence. The book's characters were interesting, and had a story to tell. The book really has a good plot, and is funny, sad, and full of adventure. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and feel free to leave me a helpful/not helpful feedback. God Bless America!

Summary: Holes
Review: The best audience for this book would probably be people from the ages or 13 and up. Unless they are genius children that have higher reading levels. This book was great reading. It was an easy plot to follow and the story line flowed together easily. The best part about the book is when Stanley finds the onion fields. If Stanley and Zero hadn’t found this field, they probably would have been dead. Another interesting part of the book was when Stanley’s dad found the cure for athletes’ foot. This part of the book also incorporated Stanley’s family adopting Zero, (the real thief of the famous sneakers). This book had very little emotion in my opinion. I mean it had some really good detail in parts, but most of the time it was just a plain story. At first I didn’t think this book was going to be very good according to the cover. When the title read, “Holes” I figured it was going to be a boring piece of literature. Once I got past the first 2 or 3 chapters though, I changed my mind and sort of lost myself in this book. If I was to give anyone advise on if to read this book or not I would totally recommend it to anyone over 12. Overall I would give this book an 8/10 for the easy reading and the great plot the book had.

Summary: Holes is worthy of your time
Review: I enjoyed Holes for its unpredictable twists and complexities of its plot. Sachar combines the life stories of three generations: grandfather, father and son. What occurs or what is left incomplete in previous generation seems to come alive along with the continuation of the subsequent generation. Here, every action and event has a consequence and Stanley Yelnats gets to enjoy the resolutions of the events that took several generations. He impressively balances and handles the past with the present and includes many thought-provoking symbolisms such as the significance of the holes, the nicknames, the lizards and the desert among many others. I definitely recommend this work by Sachar. My only concern is that for a children's book, it may be slightly difficult for early-teens.

Summary: Holes a review by vincent
Review: Have you ever been accused of something that isn't your fault? Stanley Yelnats was accused of stealing a baseball player's shoes when another boy stole them and ditched. He was homeless and was never taught not to steal. He did not know they would be auctioned off for thousands of dollars to help benefit homeless shelters. A famous baseball player donated them to be a good citizen because he was once homeless as a boy.
Stanley's hearing was delayed because of a baseball game. Then he had a choice. He could go to juvenile hall or Camp Green Lake. He was not rich and he had never been to camp before so he chose Camp Green Lake. He was in for the biggest surprise in his life.
One scene I enjoyed was on the bus when Stanley was wearing a pair of itchy, sweaty handcuffs...Another scene was just after this incident; Stanley had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Sir. He was checked for weapons or leisure items, although none were found, he was treated like a common criminal, and he was spat at. You should read to figure out what the biggest surprise of his life is!!!

Review: I read this book to my 12 year old in yet another attempt at persuading him that books can be as good as video games. We both looked forward to his bedtime so that we could get another installment.

Summary: Beware a Mystery
Review: Beware for a mystery to be unlocked. The story "Holes" is full of adventures. It has well developed characters that catch your attention. This story is so good you can read it over and over just like "Green Eggs and Ham". I recommend this book because it has lots of exciting events. It is also a deep story with many twists and turns. All of the details become events making this story complete without any "holes"! This story begins when an innocent boy is sent to a hot, dry, sandy, and not so pleasant camp called Campe Green Lake. When he goes there, the bus driver says to him "watch yourself" and Stanley is not sure whether he means the bus step or Camp Green Lake itself. While Stanley is there he meets weird kids with different stories on how they arrived at the detention center. The best reason to read this book is to answer the question everyone is wondering; why are they digging holes?
