Is the novel holes by Louis Sachar written in first person?

It isn't Science Fiction, it isn't a futuristic or even technology. It most certainly isn't an autobiography. I would say it is simply a novel, it really doesn't have the aspect of fantasy one would normally associate with that genre.

Well, in some ways it is a fantasy, because it involves magic in the form of a curse. Other than that, I would call it straight fiction. I don't see any Science Fiction elements, and although it could have some autobiographical elements, it isn't an autobiography. From those choices, I would choose fantasy. In a bookstore, you'll probably find it under children/young adult fiction.

Holes falls under the category Magical Realism, a sub-genre of fiction.

Science fiction uses scientific explainations, like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne or Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. Autobiography is a book about someone's life written by that person, ex: The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin by Benjamin Franklin or No End in Sight: My Life as a Blind Iditarod Racer by Rachael Scdoris. There is also a genre called "Fictional Autobiography," which includes David Copperfieldby Charles Dickens and Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger.

In my opinion after reading Holes by Louis Sachar, I am pretty sure it falls into the genre of Action/Adventure.

p.s. I need to correct the first two people who have answered you question because ALL BOOKS FALL INTO A GENRE! Saying that a book does not fall into a genre is like saying that a food does not fall into a food group.
