Holes review

[alobear]

Kindly donated to the Alobear Reading Frenzy by lareinemisere, Holes was devoured in ninety minutes. lareinemisere has already reviewed it and I concur with all her points, so I won't repeat them here. It's well-written and nicely structured - but I have to admit I thought the explanation behind the detention camp was a little mundane. I think I've been watching too much Lost!

I do have a very bad habit of speeding up towards the end of a book, so that I end up missing things and not giving the conclusion the time it deserves. And I try very hard not to give in to that. Generally, I'm not deliberately reading fast - it's just that currently I'm spending more time reading on a daily basis than I was before.

But yes, absorbing lots of different things does help nudge my brain into a creative direction.
