Love This Book read it in 4th grade and seen the movie
love this book
"If only, if only, the moon speaks no reply; reflecting the sun and all that's gone by. Be strong my weary wolf, turn around boldly. Fly high, my baby bird, my angel, my only."
" When you spend your whole life living in a hole", he said, "the only way you can go is up.”
“If only, if only," the woodpecker sighs, "The bark on the tree was as soft as the skies." While the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely, Crying to the moo-oo-oon, If only, If only.”

this book is a very good mystery book it is really well written it is fantastic
This book is AWESOME!
outstanding book everyone should read HOLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I liked this book it was very good and it got me started on my liking for louis sachar books! However, no offence to anyone, I have read some of his other books and I thought that some of them were better than 'holes' so how come this one is a bestseller? why not the other ones, i mean on every single other book it says by the athor of the bestseller holes. so.....idk. you are the judge everybody. Correct me if im wrong.
I love this book...
it was so interesting
A book I'll always love to read and watch.
The "curse" finally ends. Stanleys' father finds a product to eliminates foot odor...and hopefully Hector(aka Zero) can find this mom.
Holes was an amazing book and when I saw the movie, I thought that it was just as good. My favourite character was Zero both in the book and the movie. Great job Louis Sachar!
