FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Hi everyone!

I want to write my first impressions about the novel “Holes” , written by Louis Sachar. It’s my first blog post that I have ever written, that’s why I am a little excited.

Before I started reading the book, I was not expecting that reading this book would be so much fun  and the name of the book “Holes” didn’t evoke anything in my mind which made think that the book was going to be one of the  boring school assignment that we read in every semester. But after I read 50 pages, I realized that I prejudged the book. The plot of the beginning was interesting and the language was simple. That’s why I have enjoyed reading the book so far.

The book “Holes” is about a teenager, who was sent to Camp Green Lake because of a crime  he didn’t commit. “He’d just been in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was all because of his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather.” (p.11)

 In Camp Green Lake, which has no lake any more, boys have to dig a hole everyday to ‘build a character’. But I think there must be another reason. I hope I find that out soon. There are a few more questions to be answered such as
Who is the Warden?
Can Stanley be a friend with those guys?
What’s wrong with Zero?
I hope I can find out the answers while reading the rest of the book .So that’s all for now.
