Book Reviews of Ellen Foster
Book Review: A modern fairytale with a bit of a twist
Summary: 4 Stars
I read this book because I'm determied to read as much of Oprah Winfrey's book list as possible. I was not disappointed!Ellen Foster is the tale of a young girl whose life is quite simply horrific.
Kaye Gibbon's page turning account is most certainly enriched by the creation of true to life fairy tale 'baddies' in the shape of Ellen's relatives. She also uses this novel to look at deeper issues such as racism and survival.
I highly recommend this book especially if your a sucker for a happy ending. If you have teens in the house this book is a must, I'm passing this on to my 14 year old cousin maybe she'll appreciate what she has when she reads this.
