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.

Holes was a good book. I liked the idea of a bunch of people digging holes and the yellow spotted lizards I saw the movie but the book is better, much better.

If you havent read Louis Sachars excellent novel Holes yet, do so before the movie comes out later this month. This Newberry Medal-winning story is a great read, and like most great books, has the potential for becoming either a great movie along the lines of Tuck Everlasting or the Harry Potter films, or it could rank up there with some of the all-time great book-to-movie disasters.

Stanley Yelnats, the protagonist of Holes, believes that he has been cursed because of his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing great great grandfather. That certainly seems to be true after he is falsley accused and convicted of stealing a famous baseball players shoes and sent to Camp Green Lake, where teenage inmates spend each day digging a hole six feet wide and six feet deep. Stanley is told that digging holes builds character, but he soon discovers they are really digging because the warden wants them to find something.

Holes is a funny book full of mystery and wonderful characters. If the movie is half as good as the novel, it will one day be regarded as a classic.
