We liked Shannon Hale's The Princess Academy, so on Melissa's recommendation we picked up The Goose Girl to read to each other on our trip to Oregon.
The book was good. I was really worried it was going to turn out to be a "coming of age story" (bleech), but I was actually quite captivated the whole book through. Moreso because Rebecca was reading it to me and that always makes a book better.
I should have never read the interview with the author at the end of the book, though. It has been a while since I have seen that much narcissism in an author (think L. Ron Hubbard's introduction to Battlefield Earth) that it almost ruined the good book for me. No author should ever state that their favorite story is "their own."
So, that being said, you should ignore it and go read this book because it truly is a charming tale.
