Holes

(this book has received the 'Best Book Of The Year So Far' award)


Author: Louis Sachar
My Description: Holes was amazing. It's one of the few books I've ever loved that isn't a fantasy. It was amazing. I'd started it a long time ago but I got side tracked and didn't finish it. When I came back to read it, I thought I'd skip the first part, because I'd already read that. I decided to just read a little of the first part. I couldn't stop. The way it was written was slightly humorous, spellbinding, enjoyable, interesting, fun... I could go on and on. I've never read a book that had fewer holes than Holes. Everything linked together. It was made up of four different stories, one of which was very sad, but really tied it all together. Each story intertwined so beautifully... I just couldn't stop reading!
