Shoot me now.This will probably be the only book I rate before I finish. I feel like I've read over a hundred stories from Grimm's Fairy Tales already and I might be going mad. Most of the stories suck and just seem like fillers. I can't see this turning around and becoming great suddenly which is why I'm rating this early. I think the stories I've read already are good predictors of what's to come.I could seriously have written this story and it would've been published in that book:There once was a goose with one leg. The other geese always made fun of him and it made him very sad. Then one day a fanciful magician walked by and spoke to the goose. Presently, the goose asked the magician to give him another leg. And so the magician asked him to do but one task. "Fetch me a beautiful princess who has golden eyes and I will give you another leg." So the goose went out into the woods and fetched a princess with golden eyes and gave her to the magician. The magician gave the goose another leg and they all lived happily ever after......and then a million of other stories just like that, some with morals, many that have no point at all and are just downright stupid. I gave this 2 stars instead of one only because the stories that are good are great. Out of the hundred and something I've read there have only been about 5 good ones and those are the ones you've heard of before. So there's a reason those have lived on and are still talked about today.Expect to read the word "presently" in every story sometimes more than once. I MIGHT finish this. MIGHT.

Read this to Eli before bed every night. He loved picking out which story to read.
