After seeing the Disney movie Holes countless times, I looked forward to reading the book. As always the book was just as good, if not better than the movie. Louis Sachar tells a story about the past and present all at the same time. I definitely recommend this book!

Stanley Yelnats isn't so surprised when a miscarriage of justice sends him to a juvenile detention center. After all, his family has been ridden with bad luck ever since a one-legged gypsy put a curse on his great-great grandfather. He is told that the hard labor he must perform...digging 5 foot holes in the dried up soil where Green Lake once sat...is meant to build character. But is soon becomes clear to Stanley that the warden is really using the boys to search for something very valuable. The story of the hidden treasure, alone with the warden, Stanley's friend Zero, and the curse on the Yelnats family are all part of a compelling puzzle that has taken generations to unravel.
Yeah ill try to read it
Cool
hey i am with you
Holes is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats who has to go a detention center called, Camp Green Lake. Stanley has a curse. It began with his great, great grandfather and it passed down each generation. They spend all day digging holes five feet deep and five feet wide. But what was buried under this dried up lake? The lesson to this story is to not take home things off the street or you could go to a camp like, Camp Green Lake!
Holes was a really cool book. I thought that the characters were relatable, and the connection to the past was very interesting. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good novel.
This is an ok book. I read it in elementary school and liked it enough to buy it and re-read it. There is always the better books in the world but this book is great for elementary and middle schoolers.
Holes was by far one of the most interesting books i have ever read. I read the book after watching the movie, and the movie was pretty close, but the book was way better.
