Holes

Reader reviewed by Dino_girl

Dig in and get comfy, because you and Stanley arent going anywhere for 18 months. Watch out for the yellow-spotted lizards, and most of all the Warden. Dig a hole everyday, five feet wide and five feet deep, oh, and dont forget to wear sun block.

Meet Stanley Yelnats IV, an average everyday 13 year-old with a big problem. A curse has been past down through every generation of the Yelnats family, a curse caused by Stanleys no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing great-great-grandfather. Meet his companions: X-ray, Armpit, Squid, Zigzag, Magnet, and my favourite character Zero.

This is a wonderful book. Once you start you wont be able to put it down. It is a hilarious yet heart warming tale of an everlasting friendship.

Fate meet Karma. Karma meet Fate. Oh, I see you've already met. At Camp Green Lake... Bunkmates no less... Go figure.

Meet Stanley, and his no-good-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfater. Take a journey to Camp Green Lake and see just how much character you can build digging holes. Why holes? Why here? Keep reading, you'll see. *winks*

Louis Sachar hit a home run with this tale. Heartfelt and yet still full of humor, this book pulls you in and doesn't let go. A true modern Must-Read!

Andrew Clements, you've done it again!! I loved this book, just like every other Clements book. The movie version of it made me appreciate it even more! Two thumbs up. I loved the characters like the Warden and Mr.Sir, GREAT JOB!!! Stanley's friendship with Zero was a very lucky coincedence that broke his family's curse and made for one happy ending!! Another applaud!!!

Holes and Foal in the Fog are the two best books I have ever read. Holes is an awsome book. I could not get my eyes off it. I keeps me wondering. I was reading it in study hall and b4 I knew it, study hall was over;the proble, I could not take my eyes off it. Let's just say that the teacher did not really appreciate me reading during her history lesson...But this book is so good. It is actually EVEN BETTER than the movie. It is a must for people of all ages. My teacher did not blame me though 4 reading it. She loves it to and ACTUALLY let me read it during her lesson! She told me I could read it to the next chapter then she would strat the lesson!:) how cool

Holes is a classic. No matter what age, everyone will enjoy this book.
Stanely gets sent to a correctional facility for something he didn't do, while there he is forced to dig holes every day. Soon he begins to discover things about his past and the past of others at the camp.
This story has a great meaning and the story is so interesting. If you havent read this book yet go out and read it today. You'll Love it!!

I really liked this book when I read it. It kept me quessing because their was flashbacks, and the guys on their are really funny. I didn't like the movie tho because it made the book sounds boring.

Holes is my favorite book ever. It had cliffhangers, danger, and excitment. It is two great stories rolled into one. I highly suggest you read this book.

Holes is an interesting book.

It's about a boy named Stanley Yelnats who is supposedly cursed. His whole family has been cursed becuase of something forgotten. He gets punished for a crime he did not commit and gets sent to Camp GreenLake(There is no lake). The people there make the kids dig holes that are 5ft deep and 5 ft across. They say that it "Builds Character." Watch stanley's adventure, learn a little family history, and overall love this book?

Holes is a great book. It's much better tyhan the movie. The movie leaves out a bunch of information thats in the book. For example there Stanley's mother has one out of the gold lipstick capsule.

The book holes was very interesting.I liked it because you didn't know what was going to happen next.If they were going to get bitten by a yellow spotted lizard or a rattle snake or if they were going to find the YELNATS treasure chest with vaulble papers,jewels,gold,and silver.And my two favorate parts was when Stanly stole the water truck and when he and Zero found the treasure chest.
