I liked the book HOLES because it was very suspenseful.You would always wonder what would happen next.It was great going though all the adventures. IT was really fun with all the surpises that you find out thoughout the book. When you read this story it is great to think about how everything has a purpose. My favorite quote is " This isn't girl scout camp". The setting of the camp was wonderful. It felt as if you were really going though the adventure. I didn't like some parts of the story. It got confusing when we went into Elya's world , to Kate's, and then back to Stanley's. I also didn't like how at the end of the story Sachar left us hanging at the end of our chairs. I want to know what happened. I mustly loved the story though. I thought the story had an amazing theme and everyone should read it.
