Customer Reviews

this book ties to holes for me !

i thought this book was soo interesting . . i read the whole book in 3 days . . it was just ask interesting as holes ! it was a little disturbing because i wanted to keep reading to figure out if uncle jack was abusing jamey or not . .

BEST BOOK OF ALL TIMES!

I just read this book and i thought that it was AWESOME. it talks a lot about child beating. it's basically about the girl on the front cover is baby sitting for her cousin, Jamey, and is getting ideas that her uncle is beating jamey, who is six years old, If you want to find out if he really is, read the book. on a scale of 1-10 i rate this book a 11

It's a good book...surprisingly!

The book wasn't your usual teeny bopper novel. I loved it! ANd to the girl on the cover....my brother thinks you're hot!
