harlando 's review for:

The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
3.0

I probably would have enjoyed this more as a child, but I finally got around to it at 41. The combination of art and writing brought me back to the schoolhouse rock cartoons of the early 80s. It's a quest filled with whimsical, shallow character who bounce around a fantasy geography. It wasn't bad, but it didn't grab me and I had to make myself finish it. i usually avoid doing that with my recreational reading, but if I get to the halfway point on a classic I will tough it out.
