Summary: Totally Enchanted
Review: I found this book to be so amusing and enjoyable. I was hooked from the first chapter. It is so refreshing to find a girl that isn't captivated the first time she sees a prince. Ella really develops into her own person and becomes what she wants. The novel really develops its characters. Gail Carson Levine applies personality to Ella that the reader will find amusing and interesting. This is a great novel to share with young adolescents.

Summary: Great book for all ages
Review: I had to read Ella Enchanted as a requirement for a Children's Literature class I am taking and I just loved this book. It is a marvelous re-telling of the classic tale of Cinderella and the author does a great job of doing this. This book takes a compelling story and spins it into numerous tales of everyday life situations set in a world of fantasy. I recommend this saga to people of all ages.

Summary: A review of "Ella Enchanted"
Review: The book was completely awe-inspiring and awesome. This princess was given the gift of obedience, by a fairy, at birth. While growing up she can not let out her secret. However, her evil step sister and a couple others have found this out and began to take advantage of her. Ella's heart was being captured by a Prince. However if she married the Prince, the step-sister would force Ella to give his money over to her. Ella did not want to hurt him, so she told herself that she wouldn't marry him. Ella had told the Prince that she wasn't old enough, yet, to marry. At another time, she trick him saying that she never liked him, to try and protect him. A year later, he comes back from a journey. Ella is still condemned by her gift, but wants to go to the welcome party for the Prince. She disquises herself and has the Prince wondering why this lady seems to remind him of someone. Later, she is revealed. The Prince still being in love with Ella, say's "Marry me!" This was a command, but for the first time, Ella hesitated and forced herself to say "NO!" She had broken her curse, and grown older, now saying that she would love to marry the Prince. The talking book was incredibly read by the talented Eden Riegel. She managed to take on about 8 main characters, all with different accents. It was just amazing, and very clear to understand whom was speaking. I also enjoyed the the comical part added in and the way she took up the languages of people from other lands. She consistantly read with such intensity that I was excited to continue with the rest of the tapes. I think what I liked the most about this book was the adventures of a girl, whom was born with a unwanted "gift." She had to fight for several years over all of the trouble it has caused, and one day succeeds. This was very inspirational and I hope it showed children that even if they were born with an unwanted gift themselves, that through their will and determination they can also overcome their situations. This book plays on the values of patience, commitment, will, honesty, fortitude and the strength and courage to achieve a dream. I would absolutely recomend this to any child.

Summary: Cinderella Never Sounded So Heroic
Review: This is one of my all time favorite books. I first read it a looong time ago before Gail Carson Levine became famous and thought, " Why don't people know about this book" Ella is a young rich girl. She knows that her mother loves her and father accepts her. almost. When she was born a fairy put a spell that she had to be obedient so if someones gives her an order she has to obey. When Ella is older her mother dies leaving her with her father. Eventually her father makes a bad business deal and has to marry a rich woman (with two horrible daughters) to have money. When he goes on business trips, Ella i turned into a servant. As the tradition Cinderella story, there is romance and magic involved, but i will reveal no more. This book was wonderful and i have read it many many times. I recommended it to kids (especially girls) of all ages.
