Here we go (First Impressions)

Hello everyone! Actually I find blogs very pointless and i would never have guessed that one day I will have to write one. But when it comes to school assignments, my hands are tied. So, here we go..  

I will (well, I have to)  write a blog about a book called ‘Holes’, written by Louis Sachar. It has also been adapted as a film by Walt Disney Pictures in 2003.

 

When I saw the book first I couldn’t imagine what this book could be about. ‘Holes’ didn’t make any sense to me. And then I saw the arid land picture on the cover. I thought, maybe it could be about drought. But of course it has nothing to do with that. I have always been bad at predicting..

      ‘There is no lake at Camp Green Lake.’

This is the first sentence of the book. It is a conspicuous start to me. The first chapter is like an introduction part. The chapter goes on with description of Camp Green Lake. And then it switches to the story of Stanley Yelnats. I find it very nice that in the first chapter we get the information about Camp Green Lake. In this way we define what we should expect from the book and in following chapters we can easily understand what is going on.

Here is the trailer of movie adaption of the book. I didn't watch the whole movie but I can say that it's not the way I imagine while I'm reading the book.
