Small steps

Small Steps is a follow-up novel to the novel, Holes. It follows the character Armpit, who has been released from Camp Green Lake and is trying to change and do better in life. I love the concept of improving by ‘small steps,' however the book itself lacks what made Holes special. There are concepts such as race, poverty, class, expectations, however, not much is done with these and ultimately they go no where. The book is entertaining enough and is a quick read, but ultimately, I found it lacking.

Two stars for being entertaining enough and for the concept of improvement by ‘small steps'.

Pretty good, but the characters could have been more fleshed out.
