Rating: Summary: I guess I just didn't get it. . . Review: I was required to read this book in 5th grade and for years I have referred to it as the dumbest book I've ever read. Seeing all these wonderful reviews makes me think I should go back a read it again. . . The lesson? Don't force innocent little children to read literature they hate. The last thing we need is more kids that don't like to read.

Rating: Summary: The Most Exciting Book I Ever Read!!!!!!! Review: Dear Reader, I read the book The Phantom Tollbooth and loved it! I think it was very exciting! I loved the Dodechedton and Tock! I also liked the Very Dirty Bird and the boy who grew down who's name was Alec Bings. Over all, I love the book! The end was very exciting. Even the begining was great, too. Beginings can start out slow, but not this one! It all happens in the first chapter. Then there's nineteen more chaptors of frienzy fun! I hope you read this book.From your friend, Emily
Rating: Summary: This book is fantastic. Review: The Phantom Tollbooth is about a boy who has nothing to do and a package is sent to him from an unknown person. It is a tollbooth! The boy drives through the tollbooth into a magical adventure. He meets lots of unusual characters on this adventure. This book is really funny.
Rating: Summary: This is the greatest book I have ever read! Review: This is a really good book. It has lots of adventure, and it is told in a way that makes you keep turning the pages. I love this book and I think anyone who likes adventure books should read it. I like it because of the adventure. I also like meeting all the funny characters, like Milo, Tock, and all the others that appear in this book.
Rating: Summary: Ha! Hee! Ha! Ha! Review: There is so much acclaim here for this book I hardly need too say anything at all. It is fantastic! I first read an extract of it when I was in school. The Whether man's philosophy of "Expect everything and then the unexpected never happens." Has always been one of my favourite phrases. Now, at 18, I read it for the first time (and the second) and the whole thing is like that! From the Lethargarians who, if they "stopped to think or laugh would never get nothing done"; to the Dodecahedron--a figure with twelve faces: one for smiling, one for crying etc... ; to the terrible demons: the Gross Exaggeration and the Threadbare Excuse. It is one of the funniest books I have and those who attempt to put age limits on ANY "children's" book, especially this one, should ... well, they should read all these reviews!!
Rating: Summary: This IS the best book I've ever read. Review: I really can't put all of my feelings in a review with a maximum of 1,000 words. For this book, I would need all the space in the world, Because You really have to be mature to truly understand the message that they are trying to send in this book. Now I like to read books like "Beowulf" and "The Catcher in the Rye," but I would choose this book over any other book on the shelf. Because not only the meaning, but the comedy isn't just slapstick, it's mature. If you havn't read this book, I hope that this review will have encouraged you to. Thank you.
Rating: Summary: An excellent and easy read Review: Very fun-packed book with lots of action. When I first read it it made me see things very differently, the whether man instead of the Weather man e.c.t.. Good for ages 4-9.
Rating: Summary: It was the best book I've ever read! Review: The Phantom Tollbooth is about Milo and how he was just a kid who was just bored with everything. That is, until he found the phantom tollbooth. the Phantom Tollbooth whisks him away one day into a magical land. In it he meets all kinds of silly characters and goes to allot of silly places and learns what he's been missing. This book is a little like Alice in Wonderland, yet, I think that it is more fun as a book. If you don't read this book, you don't know what you're missing!
Rating: Summary: Ideal for ALL ages!! Review: This book deserves 10 stars! It encourages reading, the use of your imagination, and it can help make you more open-minded. When my mom made me read the book in second grade, all I could think was, "What a dumb-looking book!". Now, as a freshman, I STILL read it, when I don't have an assigned book. I reccomended it to my cousin, and she, too, thought it would be boring. Now she wants my copy! To anyone who is the least bit apprehensive about the book, here's my advice: Buy it and read it. You'll love it!
