I thought it was a mildly amusing fable, but agree about the heavy-handedness of it. It's not among my favorite books, though I've given it as a gift to one or two people.
My *major* gripe with it is that it's filed with the adult books, when it's really a children's book. And on the flip side, The Little Prince is filed as a children's book, when it's really an adult book. (This frustrates me greatly, because The Little Prince is one of my favorite books ever, but it made absolutely no sense at all to me when I was a kid.)
