To just say the ending would be to discount all the amazing work leading up to this ending. It would be like standing on top of a mountain having not climbed up it. So I’ll leave it to you, gentle reader, to decide whether The Phantom Tollbooth is a hill worth climbing to its summit.
Without saying too much, let’s just say that most of the characters get what they deserve, except for the ones who don’t.
Though I would say the ending wasn’t completely satisfying in every way, it was completely satisfying in every way enough.
Because I checked out the last copy of The Giver from the library and no one else will be able to read it, I feel comfortable telling you all that the old man on the cover dies at the end because he falls off a rollercoaster after the guy at Six Flags does not tie him in properly.
My book is this new kind of mystery where you have to send in to a special address for the ending. My mom wouldn’t let me borrow her credit card, so I guess we’ll just have to assume it was, I don’t know, the aunt.
A good book review tells you how the book makes you feel, not what happens between the covers. The end of this book made me feel good. Real good.
