Movie/Book Review: Holes

During school I read and watched 'Holes'. I believed that both were pretty good works. The book, as usual, was better, but the movie did a good job in portraying the story. Mainly, I think that the story was good, not because of the directing, or the book's writing style, but just because it seemed like an original idea to me. All the holes everywhere in the desert, and the group of friends argueing and having to dig all the time was interesting, but it got even better as the different pasts and lives and fates started coming together to form a big picture.
Movie: 3 1/2 stars (out of 5)
Book: 7 1/2 stars (out of 10)
