A True Journey
Rating:
5 / 5
I read this book in the 3rd grade, about 7 or 8 years ago. Now, after going through countless novels and broadening my literary horizons, it remains my favorite book of all time.
Something about its metaphorical twists and turns, and the allegories it used to skillfully stays with me always. I endlessly refer to it in everyday conversation. I think it gave me subconscious appreciation of concepts I couldn't even grasp at the time.
Thank you, Norton Juster.
Tick Tock The Clock
Rating:
3 / 5
This story takes place in the month of February in an imaginary place in the day time and at night, this setting is important because it was during Milos time, and because that was where most of the events that happed in the story.
This look is mostly about a kid named Milo who was always complain that it seems to him that almost everything is a waste of time, and was always regarded the process of seeking knowledge as the greatest waste of time of all. He was also saying that he didn't know what to do with himself not just sometimes, but always. There is another main character named Tock and he always hanged around with Milo, and Tock was a dog who had a clock stuck to him. Then one time Milo bought something, and then he did something weird and then he was transported to an imaginary world and had many adventures.
In my opinion this is kind of an awesome book. I even took it to work with my dad when I went. I read the book while we were going and when we were coming to our house. I read it because it was adventurous. I would recommend this book because its adventurous, entertaining, fantastic, and most of all imaginative.
Milo's Fanasty Wolrd
Rating:
5 / 5
This story takes place in present-day afternoon at 5:00 p.m. It took place in a made up phantom tollbooth. It is an important setting because it makes the story more excited.
This book is mostly about a young pessimistic boy named Milo and a ticking watchdog named Tock. They are in a journey to rescue two princesses named Rhyme and Reason. On the way they find new adventures each day. During some of the adventures some weird and magical things happened.
In my opinion, this book is a great book for kids my age. It is exciting to read it because of it's adventures and journeys. I loved it! I would recommend this book because it is very interesting and spectacular.
