Yeahh... Finally, I finished the book ''Holes''. Holes it's the best novel, I've even read as a school assignment. It's not a childrens book at all. Sure, I don't say the children can't read it. They can and I'm sure they will like and enjoy it, but in my opinion there are topics in the book, which the young adult reader can understand better and be interested in much more than children. Messages about topics are given the reader so well, but not in a boring way.
The book has three stories, one is the Stanley's story ( the main story), second is the Sam and Kate's story, which is about the local history of the Camp Green Lake and the thirth is the Stanley's no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather's story. With a lot of flashbacks these three stories are connected . At first there are a lot of questions, which makes the reader wonder, what will happen next.
Step by step with these flashbacks everything starts to fit
together. If there was just Stanley's story, the novel would be too boring. All the time the kids would dig holes. The writer knows, how to make a story more enjoyable and to give messages without cliches.

I guess I share the same opinion: The writer knows, how to make a story more enjoyable and to give messages without cliches. That's what i liked most about the author and want to read his other novels :)
