Summary: my supreme favorite
Review: I first read this wonderful book when I was 7 years old, and though I am now quite beyond that age (and, thusly, the book's target age group), it continues to be--and always will be, I'm sure--my very favorite book. I think I have yet to find a wittier, more clever book. I'm sure I will read it countless more times in the years to come, and it will be required reading for my children (when I have them).

Summary: Very thought provoking---a very original fantasy world
Review: As a child, this was one of my favorite books. I must have read it 50 times. The author is so good at creating scenes which are so fantastic yet so well drawn you can picture them delightfully! A few example---having to climb infinity stairs, catching an unsaid word in your mouth to use later, a statistical half boy from the average family of 2 1/2 kids, and especially the wonderful thought of somehow coming home and having that tollbooth in your room, ready to set up and use! I like it that no explanation is ever given of how Milo gets the tollbooth, or who gives it to him---it's just a visitor from the fantasy world that as a child you always somehow feel is just out of your reach---out there someplace.

Summary: Remember the Magic
Review: I first encountered THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH when I was in second grade, and now, as a 27 year-old Ph.D. candidate, I cherish this book more and more. I read it at least once yearly to remind myself of the blessings of the imagination. THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH stresses the importance of education and applied critical thought in a charming manner. More importantly, it shows the dangers of blind, thoughtless existence and contrasts those to the fantastical beauty of the creatively engaged individual. This book tops my gift list for friends and family of all ages.

Summary: Excellent
Review: For all of you who gave a review saying that this book was to hard and confusing to read and for those who said it was for children not teens you are wrong. I loved this book. It was great. As the book progresses the plot thickens. It is a perfect book for anyone, anytime. Trust me. I hope you will decide to buy it because it has a clever plot , witty characters, funny sayings, and lots of puns. Great for kids and adults. If you don't want to buy it at least go to the library and read it. It's worth it!

Review: This is a wonderful book. I've read it so many times that I practically memorized it! It is creative, witty, and I enjoy the play on words. The author is imaginative and is clever. I recommend it to any child or adult that enjoys a good book that makes you stop reading for a minute, pause, and think about what you just read. READ THIS BOOK!
