ninetalevixen 's review for:

The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
4.5

In a nutshell, this holds up really well upon reread. The wordplay is somehow even more clever than I remember, the characters are as lovable as ever, and for me the whole thing is just wrapped up in so many fond memories of reading out loud with my little brother.
