Summary: It sucked
Review: I read this book with my class and it sucked. First milo goes through a tollbooth that he has just found in his room one day. Now it's the 90's and if you simply find something in your room some day you call the police. you do not decide to get in a toy car and drive through it. It gets worse after that. no offence to the writer but I would not waste my time reading this book.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: well written
Review: the book was intresting.It was very exciting at the begining but toward the end of the book the story got kinda dull.It's a great quick read with lots of pictures

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Doesn¿t hold up
Review: I forget how old I was when I first read this book, but I was (I hope) very young. It was a great favourite of mine. On a recent re-reading it was a correspondingly great disappointment. The land Milo travels to would have been no worse as allegory if it had had depth or flavour in its own right; but it didn't. Nor did Juster employ the wit needed to make the dialogue and the puns carry the story by themselves. Worst of all, it's allegory with no real point. What is the author saying? "Mathematics isn't so dull as all that, kids; and look: here's a funny drawing!" The fact that children can't detect the condescension (I couldn't) doesn't mean it isn't there.

Sigh. Another illusion shattered. Years ago I would have given this a rave review - but I would have been wrong.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It teaches good lessons and is very good
Review: When I first picked up The Phantom Toolboth I didnt really want to read it. I read the first page and by just that I could tell it was going to be a great book. I recommend it from all ages, not only Kids. I hope youll enjoy it as much as me!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It is a exciting adventure with vivid word plays.
Review: We enjoyed The Phantom Tollbooth very much. We think Norton Juster had very good descriptions about the people Milo met and about where he went. The book was full of surprizes and made us eager to read on. We enjoyed how Norton Juster used vivid words. It was full with fun adventures. We liked how the words were complicated and had double meanings.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant children's literature.
Review: I read this book as a child over 20 years ago and it still sticks with me. It's a brilliant, witty, engaging tale that never talks down to the young reader. It has a great, realistic protagonist, whom intelligent children can relate to (as opposed to the generic waifs that seemed to populate so many of the books I was given at that age). We need more books like this. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's great book and I would give it 1,000,000 stars!!!!!!
Review: Milo drives happily along with the Watchdog towards Dictionopolis, never knowing what's going to happen next. I gave the book 'The Phantom Tollbooth five stars and if I could I would give it tons, tons more. I think that the book is book because you never now what is going to happen next. My favorite character in the book is Milo. My favorite places in the book are Dictionopolis the place where King Azaz grows words, Digitopolis Where the Mathamagician digs numbers, and Wisdom where Rhyme and Reason Reign.

Rating: 5 stars
