The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
2.0

2.5 stars. Such a disappointment. I felt like this was just such a jumble of a read that it can barely be given the title of story. It's a real mishmash. Admittedly, the writing is clever and witty, but the plot was held together by a thread. I'm definitely an outlier in my opinion of this one, which makes me feel a little bit crotchety, but if I'm going to read a book with a nonsense plot, I'd much rather pick up the Oz series.
