Bookworm 2000 Bookworm 2000

this was a very nice book. But... it was a little bit confusing to read considering everyone in the book is pretty much related in some way. Anyway, when I read this book in school, it was interesting too. this book gets a 3 out of 5 star rating

I rate this book 5 stars

I have a question. It says you rated it 4 stars, but you just said it is 5. Is your opinion 5 or 4?

I could not put this book down. It was ssoo entertaining. It is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats who is accused of stealing a celebrity's sneakers and is given the option to either go to jail, or go to a juevenile correctional facility called Camp Green Lake. There, the boys are told to each day, dig a hole that is 5 feet wide and 5 feet deep. He suspects that they are looking for something rather than "building character". Then one day as he is digging, he digs up a gold lipstick tube with the initials KB on it. Then the book gives you a little insight about the past of Camp Green Lake, explaining everything that followed. Sorry, I am a REAL bookworm! In conclusion, YOU SHOULD DEFINETLY READ THIS BOOK!!!

I feel exactly how you do

great book and if you love the book then watch the movie. remember read it first

it was very cool and it was ok and in the middle it really made me get very inerttained me.

VERY ENTERTAINING LORDE!!!

a wonderful suspenseful story about a innocent boy claimed guilty.

the author of holes really uses his imagination when writing and is inspiring to all fiction-readers.

awesome

This is book might be at about a fifth grade level. You should read this book because you just want to keep reading. Book summary: This is about Camp Green Lake and its fun adventures. (not real)

I think it is for 5th grade.
