The author Louis Sachar is a talented writer who has received many awards. I picked up Holes because the cover and title looked interesting. While the story is creative and has a good message, I feel it is more suitable for children than adults.
The book follows Stanley Yelnats IV, a 14-year-old boy from a hardworking but unlucky family, who gets caught in a strange and unfair situation. It’s a fun and imaginative read for kids over the age of 9, but as an adult, I found it a bit too simple and not very engaging.
