The Book, Holes, is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats who is sent
to Camp Green Lake for for something his grandfather did, not him. Camp
Green Lake is a camp for kids who have comminted bad crimes, and for punishment
they digs holes. He meets many people there, and unfolds many mistories. It is
really interesting how everything comes together in the end, and seeing the adventures they go through through out the book. It's a quick read, but may get a little slow at times. I really recommend it if you are looking for a good book with adventure, but a quick and easy one as well.
I read this book a while ago and I remember that I liked it a lot. I also thought that it was slow/boring in some parts, but overall I liked reading it because it was really adventurous and the concept of the book is different than many other books. I thought it was interesting how the boy was sent to camp and as a punishment he had to dig holes. I also remember the conditions of the camp being terrible and how he had to get through all of these bad experiences, like getting rid of venomous snakes and bugs.
ReplyDeleteBased on your input I may chose this as my next reading material. It is a shame to think that an innocent boy would have to go to a camp to serve punishment for something he did not commit. I am interested in how he gets blamed versus his grandfather? Also what was the irony of digging holes? Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI read this book in one day at my sister's swim meet a while ago because i had nothing better to do. it was pretty good and really weird.
