Holes

Sachar, Louis. Holes. New York: Scholastic, 1998. 233 pages. (Fiction)

The main characters in Holes are Stanly Ylnats and Hector Zaroni who, while at Camp Green Lake are known as Caveman and Zero. One day Stanly was walking home from school and some shoes fall from the sky and hit him. Moments after, he started to hear cop sirens so he ran. He went to court and had a choice: Camp Green Lake or jail. He had never been to camp before and it turns out that it is a hard labor camp, and all they did was dig holes. Read it to see what happens.

I didn’t like it because if you have seen the movie it ruins the book. But I definitely like the book better than the movie because it has more detail and a better storyline than the movie as well.
