Summary: Different from Cinderella
Review:

This book takes place in an enchanted world with ogres, fairies, and elves in a place called Ferrell. The main character is a 13-year-old girl named Ella. When she was just a baby, a stupid fairy named Lucinda caste a spell on Ella so that she has to obey every command someone gives her. Ella's father makes her go to finishing school with her two mean. ugly stepsisters, Hattie and Olive. Ella goes on a journey to find Lucinda, so she can un-cast the spell. Along the way, she has some incredible adventures that include staying in an elf's cottage and being captured by ogres. This book is an exciting page-turner. Once you pick it up, you will never put it down. If you like adventure, comedy, and romance all in the same story, you should read this book. I would give this fairy tale twist a five out of five!

Summary: Re-telling of Cinderella
Review: "Ella Enchanted" caught my attention from the moment it came out, and it's had a special place on my bookshelf ever since. I've always been interested in Cinderella stories, so when I saw "Ella Enchated" in the store, I knew I had to buy it. And buy it I did. I read through it in a matter of hours.

"Ella Enchanted" is a re-telling of the Cinderalla story set in a fantasy world of trolls and ogres and fairies that can do magic (but usually they don't). It follows the basic plot line of Cinderella: a girl is forced to do what her stepmother and stepsisters say until she can marry her prince. But from there out, Levine takes the story into her own world and puts her own spin on things.

If you've seen the move but haven't read this book, be warned: the scriptwriters for the movie drastically changed things. They kept the same basic principle, but changed the story almost entirely, and made the movie much more frivolous than the book. I encourage you to read this book, but don't start it expecting it to mirror the movie, or vice-versa.

Summary: I loved this book
Review: Ella Enchanted is an awesome book! I've read it over and over again. If you seen the movie don't let it stop you from reading the book. The book is way better than the movie. The movie is hardly like the book at all.

Summary: An Enchanting Book
Review: This book is a classic fairy tale story, with adventure, romance and happy endings. It captures all of these characteristics with great charater descriptions and without seeming too mushy. If you saw the movie you should know that the book is totally different. It has mostly the same plot, but treats it with more believability... if that makes any sense. Although girls would probably like this book more, it contains ogres and giants which the boys should enjoy. This is my most favorite book, you should read it!!
