Summary: READ THIS BOOK!
Review: This book was really good. I definantely rate it with 5 stars! It is great for people who like fictional books, and for people who have a lot of imagination. If you think everyday life is boring, definately read this book! It will change your whole perspective. I read this book with my 6th grade class and I think I speak for almost everyone in that class when I say I think it is a wonderful book. The way Norton Juster describes everything is in great detail, and very true. I think the things he says are the truth in an exaggerated way. He knows what problems this world has, and states them in a very complex way. I think this book is his way of saying, "This world has problems that we don't like to admit." It may be classified as a fictional book, but really it speaks the truth. So, now that you've read my opinion about this book, i hope you read it!

Summary: The Phantom Tollbooth
Review: The Phantom Tollbooth is a great book for those who findeverything in life boring. Milo is a character with that problem. Atollbooth arrives as an anomynous present that he goes through to an imaginary world with all kinds of weird things, places, and characters. I feel that this book has a great start but later begins to drag. It has too much detail to it. But it also has a good ending. I would recommend this book to people who like to live in a fantasy world. It would be a great book for them.

Summary: A Classic!
Review: First of all, this is one of the most wonderful books I have ever read! It is about a boy named Milo who is bored and doesn't see the meaning of things. One day, he comes and finds a toll booth went to him in his room. He takes his car and pays the toll and begins his remarkable journey. He journeys through Expectations where he meets the Whether Man. He dozes off and comes to the Doldrum and meets the Lethargians and a watchdog named Tock that goes Tick. Tock sets off with him for Dictionopolis, the city of words, where he meets the troubled King Azaz the Unabridged and Fainly Macabre. He decides to save the Princesses Rhyme and Reason, because without them, there is none. The lovable Humbug, Tock, and Milo set off. The come to the Forest of Sight and see the orchestra play the colors. They travel through the barren Valley of Sound and meet the Soundkeeper. They get to Digitopolis, the city of numbers, and meet the Mathematician. This is where the real difficult part of their journey begins as they venture into the Mountains of Ignorance to rescue the princesses from the Castle in the Air. This book shows you the meaning of knowledge and reminds you to never rush and see and hear the bueaties of the world.

Summary: Awesome Story!
Review: There was an excerpt of this book in my fifth grade reading textbook, and I said to myself when we had to read it, "the phantom tollbooth? Come on now, please. This is like, for babies!" But I enjoyed the clip, and liked it so much I set out to the library for the whole book. It makes you think, and see thing in a whole new light. For example, the characters are very strange, like the Whether (not weather) man, and the little guys that don't do anytyhing all day, whose names I foget. The Lethargics, I think they were called. If you like to think, and look at things in a strange new way, you should read this book!

Summary: Exciting and fun !
Review: Phantom Tollbooth is a great effort in making up a story forkids that reflects their experiences in learning the Englishlanguage. They surely may be reminded on how they stumbled on some blocks that prompted them to stop for a while. But you see, they also must have realized that English study is not always academic; they simply have to recite nursery rhymes and be simply enchanted by the sounds that go together without worrying what they mean. This book is indeed a nice effort. I like it !

Summary: A classic for children of all ages
Review: I first read The Phantom Tollbooth in third grade at the reccommendation of the best teacher I ever had. I reread it every year, even going so far as to sneak across the road that separated my junior high school from my elementary school after I left 6th grade to read it. Luckily, the school librarian understood my love of the book and never gave me away. After I got into high school, I was too far away (and looked too old) to sneak in to read it, and I thought it was lost to me. 10 years later, I found it in a bookstore, and I found that it was enchanting to me at 25 as it was at age 8. Flash forward a few years, and I was rereading The Phantom Tollbooth, and my boyfriend asked me what I was laughing at. I read him the passage from the book, and he asked if I would read him more. My boyfriend has never been much of a reader, but this book started a new tradition for us. Instead of watching television together, I read to him. We've read many books together now, but he says that The Phantom Tollbooth is his favorite! Many other reviewers have told about the plot, so I won't bore you with a synopsis, but I feel that The Phantom Tollbooth has a way of bringing magic to your life, and that anyone can find something to enjoy in this warm, witty story.

Summary: Love it!
Review: This book is very wonderful. I am very into reading, but my little sister isn't----until now. I have so much faith in this book SO much I told her if she didn't like it she could have $10. She loved it and now asks me to recommend more books to her. It is witty, fun, adventurous, and really makes you think if one day it (the tollbooth) will appear in your room one day. I have no doubt it is a classic that ALL should read it, whether themselves or to their children, siblings, or grandchildren. Hope this helps and presuades you to read, if not buy, this priceless book.
