The Phantom Tollbooth
This Book is Currently in the Wild!
7 journalers for this copy...
Read this as a child and can barely remember it. I am looking forward to taking the journey with Milo again!
I am so glad that I re-read this book! Although its intended audience is children, adults will enjoy it as well. Milo's journey is really all about the power of language and knowledge, and learning to think logically.
I am offering it as a bookring.

I received this today and am putting it at the top of the stack. I read this years ago (sixth grade?) and am looking forward to re-reading from an adult point-of-view.
A true classic. This has some great humor and insights into human nature and society. I'm glad I re-read this. This is going out to cosmicflurk today.
Recieved today. Thanks, monkeyflower!
Thanks for sharing!
This book was a lot shorter than I remembered it, but it was still a lot of fun to read again. Now, I have one question. Is DYNNE pronounced like "DINE" or "DEAN"...?
P.S. I had so much fun with this bookring that I've registered another copy.

On its way to Australia!
Recieved safely today, thanks cosmicflurk! Can't wait to re-read this, I loved it as a kid and I'm looking forward to meeting the once-familiar characters again.
I finished this a couple of nights ago, but haven't had a chance to journal yet. I was a lil disappointed that this book wasn't as good as I remembered it, though it was still enjoyable nonetheless. Like cosmicflurk, it seemed alot shorter than when I was a kid, but hey it happens :-) Oh, and I think 'Dynne' is pronounces 'Din', as in noise. But I could be wrong...
Cyberkedi, who's next in line for this one?

found this in my mailbox today with a note from the post office, that the envelope was replaced, as the original one was damaged. the book is in mint condition, though.
as i'm in the middle of a "brick" right now (900 pages), i will start reading parallel.

what a lovely story! the main characters are likeable and/or amusing and the bad guys are not freak-out bad but try to trick you, which i find a very good decision for a children's book.
this book was never really popular or widely-known around here - and i would imagine that it never really made it big anywhere in the non-english-speaking world. which is sad, really.
actually, i had never heard of it before i became a bookcrosser.
thank you for sharing.
the next person on the list asked to be skipped so i went down one spot. this will move on as soon as i get the next address.
oh, and just for the record - this is austria, not australia as indicated on the PMd list....

I received this in the mail today. I loved the movie when I was a kid, so I'm looking forward to reading the book.
I loved this book! I'm making all my friends and family read it!
I guess this is the end of the road for this book. It's heading back to Cyberkedi(who I must thank for starting this ring!!)
Hopefully this book goes on many more adventures and brings a smile to more people!!
