Pros

  • Easy To Understand

Cons

    Best Uses

      Comments about Holes:

      Simple language used in depicting the story of a boy in difficult conditions. Also in movie format for making comparisons between the written word and the screen. Uses historical connections for a broader understanding of the hardships of racism and eaking out a living in less affluent parts of the US

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
