Summary: Looking for the Turnpike
Review: Norton Juster's book is ostensibly a children's book. However, like much of children's literature, it contains hidden (and not so hidden) aspects that are of delight to adults as well. This, when you think of it, makes sense--the point of children's literature is to educate as well as entertain (one hopes!), therefore, it makes sense that some of the lessons will be more 'adult' than the actual storyline would seem to indicate.Milo and his various friends and enemies encountered along the way serve to illustrate many of the foibles and quirks of adult life. The Phantom Tollbooth serves as a gateway to a place that embodies the physical manifestations of metaphors. For instance, in Dictionopolis (a city of words) Milo is invited to a banquet at which one must eat one's words. Just as in our world, sometimes those words can be sour and very hard to swallow. Also, while you can jump to the Isle of Conclusions, you must reach the mainland again only by swimming through the sea of knowledge. And the water is cold. It is not easy to recover from having jumped to conclusions. The interplay between concepts, the tension between words and numbers, the divisions and alliances that are made, the enemies who seem to be friends, all of these serve to make a delightful play which will interest children and adults. Milo, of course, makes it home safely after a fascinating journey, and while he would like to take another trip, the phantom tollbooth is needed elsewhere for other children, too. However, Milo realises that he has his own tollbooth in his imagination, and thus the adventure need never end.

Summary: OK
Review: The book Phantom Toolbooth was oaky. It was very confusing at some parts. You may like because it's nonsense but that's the reason I don't like it!! If you like Alice in wonder land you'll probably like this book.

Summary: One of the best books I've ever read
Review: I just finished reading this book again, and if I haven't read it at least 100 times, then I'm close. I started reading this book as a young child. I became very attached to Milo, and began carrying the book around everywhere. Through the years, everytime I have to face something difficult, or whenever I'm feeling "bummed", I read this book for comfort. What I've found is that as I read the same words again and again, they have taken on new meaning as I have gotten older. The story that used to just be entertainment, now helps me to gain insight into myself, and situations I may face. This book has become a companion to me, and I highly recommend it to anyone of any age.

Summary: A wonderful, humorous classic
Review: When I was a child, I loved the Phantom Tollbooth. I still enjoy it--Norton Juster broke the mold with his funny, imaginative, clever, instructive book--but as an adult I find the plot a little tedious and the relationships between characters rather superficial. I've found a book that reminds me of the Phantom Tollbooth, but is even better. It has all the strengths of the PT, but also has more intricate plotting and a more developed relationship between the main characters. If you like PT, you'll love Engraved in Stone.

Summary: On The Way to Infenity
Review: The way to infenity is a chapter is the book of The Phantom Tollbooth. The chapter I'm wrighting about is the way to infenity. It is about a boy named Milo and his watch dog named Tock,and the Mathmagician the biggest number in the world is 1 trillion,999 billion,999 million,999 thousand,999 hundred,99.The Mathmagician knows every single number in the English numbers system. Milo is a very dumb boy until he goes to all these places there.Milo goes to school the next day and he was a very smart boy because all they use in that place is words numbers and mixed up sentences.

Summary: Amazing, symbolically rich story
Review: Symbolically rich. Milo, Tock, Digitopolis, Dictionopolis, Chronos, Jumping to Conclusions (an island), Rhyme and Reason all come together to make ideas "sing" allegorically.
