This is the first Le Guin I've read and the foreword strongly suggests that it's not her favourite of her works, but I really enjoyed it; a morality tale is not necessarily a bad thing! I'll definitely read more of her books.

This was a gift and isn't my normal style, but I enjoyed it. It's cute, not as low-stakes as the well-intentioned gifter (who doesn't know that the founding peril of the story is really quite relevant to my own life... no, not the being on a reality show bit) thought it would be, but enjoyable.
