Yes, I've finally finished Holes!
I was delighted to find that Holes by Louis Sachar is the only book I've read that is spot on, exactly like the movie.( You can view my review of the movie here) Or should I say the movie is just like the book? Just goes to show that Mr. Sachar has written a story that is magnificent in any form of storytelling.
This book was so entertaining, I read it for about 40 minutes until I had to go to bed last night, and finished it in one two hour stretch this morning. I really could not put it down.
So, congratulations, Mr. Sachar, on a story well written. You are the only person so far who has made me rave about a book/movie on this blog such as I have today.

Holes movie
Holes is a good movie, very fun, though I would only recommend it for ages 10+
Five Stars
Note: I think Viola really, really likes the Dig it song/rap by some of the cast (fondly known as the D-tent boys). I don't know why I said that, maybe I just thought it needed mentioning.

Holes: The Movie
Recently, I've had the pleasure of watching Disney and Walden Media's film Holes starring the great Shia Lebeouf. Twice. Really, that's how good it was! Also, I was very pleased to see that the author of Holes the book was the screenwriter for Holes the movie.
Holes tells the story of Stanley Yelnats, a kid who is always in the wrong place at the wrong time. When Stanley is falsley convicted for petty theft, he's sent to Camp Greenlake to "build character." Now, Camp Greenlake isn't your ordinary boot camp. In order to build character, each boy must dig a hole five feet deep and five feet in diameter in the Texan desert sun. But suspiscion arises when Stanley and his newfound friends discover parts of the puzzle that is the real reason for all this digging...
If you want to look for Louis Sachar's cameo in the movie, look for the bald man to whom Sam sells a bottle of onion hair tonic!
The next time I visit my local library I am going to pick up a copy of Holes the book, and as soon as I finish, I'll tell you all about it. (Please give me a week or two, because I don't get much time to read.)
