Just finished reading Holes by Louis Sachar. Its a good book and quick to read. I found it hard going to start with as all the sentences are so short that the story seems to stutter, but after a few pages/chapters you get the hang of it. Its a very addictive read and only takes a couple of hours. I’d never heard of the story even though it’s just been released as a film and was one of the books featured in the Big Read. We’ll probably go and see the film in the next couple of weeks.
