Summary: THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH
Review: Usually most books start out really boring, but when I first read The Phantom Tollbooth, it wasn't boring at all! I loved it! I recommend that anyone on earth would enjoy it, young and old. The book started out exciting and ended out with more excitement.
The Phantom Tollbooth is about a boy who doesn't think anything has a reason. He thinks his life is a big bore. Milo takes an enchanted adventure through a tollbooth that he found in his room. On the way, he meets all sorts of strange creatures. Eventually, Tock the watchdog in the Doldrums, Humbug in the Word Mart, and the two kings. Suddenly, Milo, Tock and Humbug get granted the mission to rescue the two princesses Rhyme and Reason. The ending is the best part, you see what happens!!

Summary: The Phantom Tollbooth
Review: I read this book when I was nine. Now I am eleven, and it is still a great book to read. I am actually doing a book report on it for school right now! The characters, ecspecially Tock, are great and the book is sarcastically funny. This book is about a forlorn boy who needs some fun and exciting adventures. He drives through the phantom tollbooth and through the lands beyond. But then he gets stuck on a dangerous mission, rescuing Rhyme and Reason. You'll have to read it to find out the rest! I'd recommend this book to anyone with imagination!

Summary: Funny and Educational
Review: This story is kind of like Wizard of Oz, but better, in my opinion. We are taken to a magical and very literal world full of great characters like the Watch Dog, the Spelling Bee and the Humbug. It is funny, with a log of play-on-words jokes. With all the so-called "classic" literature that they make kids read in school (most of which is just boring) - this book should be something that every kid reads. Very entertaining.

Summary: A Fantastic story that never gets old
Review: I cannot tell you how many times I have read this book (at least 20) since I discovered it in the late 70's or how many copies that I have given as gifts to young readers. This is a great tale of wondrous imagination that would be a fantastic read for any young, intelligent reader or anyone who is young at heart. It is a great tale of adventure with no violence and some great lessons to be learned told in great style. It is still hard for me to put this book down even after all the times I have read it!

Summary: The Phantom Tollbooth
Review: I really like the book. Like at the beginning when he first saw the Tollbooth in his room. But the end I didn't like when he got home from school and the Tollbooth was gone and a letter was in its place. I think there should be lots of Tollbooth's for every child who needs one. So that way they will have the Tollbooth when they get older and they turn into adults.I think that it would be funny if when Milo got older and the Tollbooth would still be with him that he would go and visit all of he friends that helped him. And see if they would recognize him as an audlt.
I learned that you should not always listen to what you hear. I also learned that you should not jumb to conclusions before you know they are true.
The main charters are one a little boy who is used to think that life was boring. Two Ryme and reason who Milo is going to save. The third is tock who always does not like to waste time and he is is helping Milo to get the two girls.Fourth the Humbug who is also helpng Milo get the two girls.
