À propos de cet audio

Hailed as "a classic...humorous, full of warmth and real invention" (The New Yorker), this beloved story - first published more than 50 years ago - introduces readers to Milo and his adventures in the Lands Beyond.

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....

"I read [The Phantom Tollbooth] first when I was 10. I still have the book report I wrote, which began 'This is the best book ever.'" (The New York Times)

"The Phantom Tollbooth is the closest thing we have to a modern Alice in Wonderland." (The Guardian)

"The book lingers long after turning the final page.... A classic indeed." (Los Angeles Review of Books)

The Phantom Tollbooth is a book from my childnood, it also happens to be the only book I have ever finished reading (comics not included) due to my dyslexia. I read it about 7 years ago in grade 8 and the message and story has stuck with me ever since. It really is an amazing book and having it read to you by Rainn Wilson make it that much better.

I read this back in the 60s, but I had to listen to it because of Rainn Wilson, the narrator.
Rainn Wilson brings this story to life!!!!
His change of voices and mannerisms is SO fantastic...you feel like your watching it in real life. His portrayal of each of the characters in beyond explanation!!! I've listened to hundreds of books over the years but nothing compares to the hilariously funny and emotionally charged way that Rainn tells the story!!

what a wonderfully weird story and great narration

How wonderful are the memories of reading THIS book to our son...
Since I've read this story numerous times to my boy. I think I might have passages learned by heart!
I chose this book deliberately just for the opportunity of being read to.... I WASN'T DISAPPOINTED IN THE LEAST!!
Each chapter excited me not just for the story line; but, for the countless teaching moments and associated memories our little family experienced during those parenting bits.
The most often used segment is the Sea of Knowledge. Swimming through knowledge. What a concept. Actually learning valuable information from which to understand why things may turn out differently than anticipated.
Tick Tock, time to wrap my comments up.
EVERYONE, if you've NEVER seen or heard about this book, just listen to the sample.
I know your intrest and curiosity shall be pulled through that wonderful "PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH"
MY family wishes you the 'JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME.'

This book is written by a very talented Norton Buster. Wonderfully narrated. Best of all Stands the Test of Time.

Tollbooth revisited! Family Affair

A wonderful narration of a wonderful story. This was one of my favorite books as a kid, and the narrator breathed new life into the story. I listened to the sample, and then a few minutes later I had bought it, then a few hours later I was still listening to it.

Just like I remember it

Well read and intonated. Narrator uses different voice for each character and speaks clearly. Excellent listen for children and adults alike!!
