Summary: I LOVE THIS BOOK!
Review: Milo was getting bored. Suddenly, a tollboth popped into his room. He drove through to have a mysterious and fun time! He had a watchdog named Tock and his own car! In Dictonoplis, they met the Humbug, the Spelling s-p-e-l-l-i-n-g bee b-e-e, and Officer Shrift. King Aazz needs help. He needs someone to help Faintlay Macabee save Rhyme and Rythem and the Humbug volunteers. The go to Conclusions by jumping there, visting the Valley of the Sound that became silent, and visted the Mathmagican at the mine in Digitopolis. There's more to find out but I won't tell. Read it!

Summary: The Phantom Tollbooth is the best book I've ever read!
Review: I just finished reading The Phantom Tollbooth and I loved it. Milo, Tock, and Humbug made me laugh and cry and laugh more. My friend read it and we argued for a long time about if Milo really took the journey or not. Kids should read this book because it is so good you can't put it down. The author has a really good imagination.

Summary: A real treasure!
Review: Like many other reviewers, I first read this fantastic book as a child, and have re-read it hundreds of times since. It occupies an honored space on my bookself even now. How rare it is to find a book which is so funny, intelligent, and thought-provoking! Who among us (who have now settled into fairly routine office jobs) would not be thrilled to find Milo's tollbooth waiting for us when we arrived at home tonight!?

Summary: This book is my all time favorite book.
Review: I'm 10 years old and I read this book last year. So far I've read it 5 more times. It's very rare to find someone with that much imagination and creativity. The Phantom Tollbooth is full of funny and loveable characters that Juster has made up. It is the all-time best book ever. I'd recommend to anyone that is into fantasy stories...or anything else!

Summary: This Book is full of ADVENTURE
Review: The Phantom Tollbooth is a great book. It's full of adventure. Every chapter has it's own adventure. I recamend this book for people who like fantasy and adventure because Milo ( the main Character.) goes of to a world of wonder. When you read this book you'll meet strange, lovely, weird, and different kind of people, as Milo and his friends Tock ( the dog that goes tick.) and more. This is just a wonderful book.

Summary: Source of continuing revelation: read it again!!!
Review: I vividly recall reading this book as a child. I have now read it twice to my son, age 8; although he can read it himself, I truly enjoy reading it to him. On each read, I realize more how deep an impact he book had on me. The themes-- think, pay attention, consider the world from various points of view-- are all those I try to reinforce in my son. Read this book!!!!!

Summary: One of our favorite children's books: very "punny"
Review: The characters in this wonderful book are great! It is as enjoyable for adults as it is for children. We find ourselves constantly quoting lines from it. It is currently my children, ages 9 an 13, favorite book.

Summary: A novel that opens your heart as well as your mind...
Review: A modern day "Alice In Wonderland" that will shake up your reality and leave you to pick up the pieces! The story is about a boy who finds Life dull and unentertaining, until one day he recieves a mysterious tolbooth that brings him through numerous adventures and discovers many interesting things. The characters and their quirks and strange places Milo visits mirror our own emotions and realities. For example the land called Expectations, where people go before they go anywhere else, and how some people can't leave that place. Or the cities Illusion and Reality... Where it is so easy to see what isn't there then to see what really is. Even though this is considered a child's book, adults can still learn from the simple messages that are written in it. This book shines the light on ourselves and proves that what we once thought impossible, is in fact the opposite.
