I love Gail Carson Levine's re-imagining of the tale of Cinderella. The characters were well developed and the writing is as good as I have come to expect of this author. This book will give anyone who loves fairy tales a wonderful afternoon!Book Review: A great story,
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked this up on a whim. I recently saw the film and discovered the book in the library.
I enjoyed the book a lot more then the movie. The movie was very enjoyable too.
Ella is almost 15 when her mother dies, and Dame Olga and her two daughters come into Ella's life. One of the stepsisters discovers the curse Ella suffers, and uses it against her. In an attempt to get rid of the curse,Ella runs away and goes in search of the fairy Lucinda, who gave her the "gift" of obedience. Twists and turns(but not too many).
Altogether a good book for the kids and their parents. Not sickly sweet like so many books out there.
Book Review: A lot of fun
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best fairy tale retellings I've come across. It's intelligent, witty, and fun, but it has enough depth not to be forgotten. I think Ella herself is possibly the best part of this book. She has such a strong personality and voice, and her sense of humor makes her especially likeable from the very beginning, as though she has a perpetual smile quivering on her lips and an eyebrow always good-naturedly raised at the fantastical world around her. She also has the ability to feel deep emotions like love, in which she can be self-sacrificing but always remains human (with a bit of a feisty edge).
The only part I thought could be a little longer, or a little more fleshed out, was the ending. A few things after the ball happened a bit too fast for my taste. I considered giving the book only four stars because of this, but I reconsidered. Ella Enchanted is wonderfully enjoyable, and such an overall good book doesn't deserve to lose any stars.
Book Review: AMAZING!!

Book Review: Abby Johnson's reviw for Ella Enchanted
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked this book because it had many parts when there was some suspense like when Ella was captured by ogres. I wasn't even sure if she would come out alive after they were done with her. This book also had some romance in it like when Ella and Prince Charmont,Char, meet each other for the first time.
This book is about a little girl named Ella. When she was born a fairy named Lucinda bestowed a gift for her. Ella was given the gift of obedience. Whenever someone gave her a command she had to follow it. She meets a nice prince named Charmont. They fall in love with each other and they get married.
I would recommend this book to a reader who enjoys reading books about a magical world. The reader needs to like books about a world of magic, a world of unimaginable creatures, and a world like ours, filled with chaos. The reader needs to have a good amount of time on their hands because there's a twist around every every corner and when they start reading they won't want to put the book down.
