JanesList: If you liked the Phantom Tollbooth (which admittedly, I didn't like as much) you will probably also like this book. It has some of the same feel because it is also a journey to another (kindof random but with its own logic) world to learn things about yourself and your own world.… (plus d'informations)
This was my very favorite book when I was a kid and rereading it as an adult was just as magical. It makes you want to have so many adventures and learn everything there is to learn. I may have even gotten a bit misty eyed remembering how much this story had always meant to me. A must read for everyone everywhere. ( )
I read this book because I saw Dominic Noble do a "Lost in adaptation" episode comparing this book to the Chuck Jones cartoon and for some reason reacted to that with "Chuck Jones is one of my favourite animators, I Should read the book that inspired that cartoon of his that i have never seen or heard of until now"reaching
anyway, I found the book very clever and I appreciated the wordplay commitment ( )
So sad I didn't read this in school though I'm sure the assignments would have taken the magic away. Rainn Wilson reading the audiobook was just perfect. ( )
For Milo, everything's a bore. When a tollbooth mysteriously appears in his room, he drives through only because he's got nothing better to do. But on the other side, things seem different. Milo visits the Island of Conclusions (you get there by jumping), learns about time from a ticking watchdog named Tock, and even embarks on a quest to rescue Rhyme and Reason. Somewhere along the way, Milo realizes something astonishing: Life is far from dull. In fact, it's exciting beyond his wildest dreams!

"You must never feel badly about making mistakes," explained Reason quietly," as long as you take the trouble to learn from them. For you often learn more by being wrong for the right reasons than you do by being right for the wrong reasons."
Well, since you got here by not thinking, it seems reasonable to expect that, in order to get out, you must start thinking.
The only thing you can do easily is be wrong, and that's hardly worth the effort.

"Well, I would like to make another trip," he said, jumping to his feet, "but I really don't know when I'll have the time. There's so much to do right here."
