It was an amazing story! The characters were cool and all had different personalities and were interesting. The main character definitely changed throughout the story. There are many different moods in the story and I will leave that for those who haven't read it to see.

I liked this book because it is a mix of many genres and it is a straight forward book with lots of humor. In this book Stanley gets accused of stealing a famous persons shoes. Then he gets taken to a juvenile center where everyday you have to dig a hole 5 feet wide and 5 feet deep. But what are they really looking for? It all starts when Stanley finds a golden tube...

I think the book is intersting

it is an amazing book. I absolutely could not put it down. I have read other books that are by Louis Sachar and they are all amazing. Louis Sachar is one of my favorite authors.

My friend introduced me to the movie and I've been in love with Holes ever since, but the book does not really match the film.
