The Phantom Tollboth

website: none

rating: 4.5/5 


Summary: this guy named Milo is bored. One afternoon he goes home and finds a tollbooth. He assembles it.He gets out his old car and drives up to the tollbooth, deposits a coin that came with it and drives through.  He finds himself in the Kingdom of Knowledge, a very literal world. For example, he jumps to the island of conclusions. To quote a character, "it is better to know whether there will be weather, than to know what the weather will be."

A very interesting, humorous, and literal book. (rating by me)
