I saw this in a bookshop and had a skim through it.  It's aimed at 
children; part of a series of interviews with popular authors.  There 
isn't much of note in it, just the usual 'train-journey-single 
motherhood-writing-on-napkins-suddenly-I'm-a-millioniare' type of 
stuff with a few comments that sounded original.  IIRC, there were a 
couple of responses about the origins of characters' names that I 
hadn't heard before.

I didn't buy it, which says it all, really.

The Shapiro book is likely to be crap, given that it's one of those 
conveyor belt 'celebrity profile' books, written by someone who has 
no interest in his subject.
