Customer Reviews
This book changed my life - Rated Milo is a lad of indeterminate age - about 10, I guess - living in an indeterminate age, who is surrounded by the trappings of the materialistic world in which he lives, and he is BORED! Do you know somebody like that? I did - it was me, in the 70s. By virtue of the mysterious phantom tollbooth and car, Milo (because he has nothing better to do with his time) wanders into a strange world, peopled by quirky characters and odd locations. He first has to escape from the Doldrums, where nothing happens all day, but then he finds himself travelling to Dictionopolis and Digitopolis - cities of words and numbers, in permanent rivalry, pending the return of princesses Rhyme and Reason - accompanied by the Watchdog and the Humbug, and meeting people who show him completely new ways to look at colours, sounds, music, words and almost everything else you can think of. This book is a fun read, with short, bedtime-reading sized chapters, but it is intelligent, literate and subtle. If you know anybody who finds themselves bored, and surrounded by the trappings of their materialistic world, get them to take a journey with Milo.
