Rating: Summary: This book was awesome Review: Ella Enchanted was one of my favorite books I have read all school year. I think this book should be on every school's reading lists to read during the year. I hope everyone will get the chance to read such an awesome book. If not, you are truly making a large mistake.
Rating: Summary: An enchanting tale Review: This book hits it's mark of pre-teen to early teenage girls perfectly. The retelling of the famous rags-to-riches story of Cinderella is known world wide, but Levine's retelling gives this age-old tale new life and endures it to an entirely new generation.
Rating: Summary: Great twist on a classic fairy tale Review: I love fairy tales, and have since I was a little girl. My favorite has always been Cinderella. When I read this book, I was "enchanted." Haven't you always wondered why Cinderella kept being so nice to her stepmother and stepsisters? This story explains it all. I loved the character of Ella. She's not your typical princess, who waits to be rescued. She's independant and brave. My daughter got this for me for Christmas because she knew how much I loved it. It's a great one to read aloud as a family.
Rating: Summary: This book was awesome! Review: I finished reading the book about a month ago and still keep thinking about how awesome it was. It may be very fantasy but that's the whole point. This is one of the only fantasy books I would read, and "The Alchemist". If you don't have this book you should get it because it's one of the best books I've read!
Rating: Summary: An Enchanting Story of an Enchanting Girl Review: An enchanting story for those in search for fantasy. A classic story is spun on the basics of once upon a time. The twists of an curse and a happy ending. The curse, bestowed as a gift on Ella is obedience. Ella must do everything she is told, even if it is to chop off her head. The classic fairy tale charactoers- evil stepsisters, orges, fairys, fairy godmothers, a prince and of course, the heroine, all support an adventure beyond classic. Ella's quest throughout the book is to break her curse. Along this trail she encounters giants, tames orges, gradually falls in love and changes from a clumsy elephant to a finished young women.
Rating: Summary: My favorite book!!! Review: Ella Enchanted is my favorite book! I am a teeenager and not only have I have read the whole book two times, but I have gone through the book and read my favorite parts even more times! It really captured me, and I can't stop thinking about it! I have recommended it to my friends, and they loved it, too. It really puts a twist on the classic Cinderella tale!
Rating: Summary: Mesmerizing book for girls who love fairytales Review: I read this book in 6th grade and I was absolutely captivated by the characters, the story and the author's very magical style of writing. I recommend this book for young girls who want more than is offered in picture perfect fairy-tales but love the magic of the genre. This book allows an imaginative fairy-tale plot to be coupled with a headstrong and independent heroine. Girls will enjoy reading this with their parents or alone. This book is also a rainy day read for adults who need a little magic in their lives. "Ella Enchanted" is a simple fairy-tale story that offers up modern-day issues and a different kind of heroine.
Rating: Summary: Spectacular Novel ~ Entrancing for all ages Review: An enchanting and...different...rendition of the classic tale, this Cinderella story definitely has spunk! Ella, a young girl who has the "gift" of obedience, must obey every command given to her. In this delightful story, Ella must go up against remarkable odds and somehow overcome her "gift." I read this book in fourth grade and simply fell in love with it, and that still holds true today. Every person I know who has read it has been equally as thrilled, no matter what what their age. Don't pass up this book just because it at first seems geared towards a younger audience. After all, so was Harry Potter...
Rating: Summary: This is one great book! Review: I found "Ella Enchanted" during a book fair at my elementary school during seventh grade. I am now a sophomore in high school and I still love this humorus tale. When i began to read this richly woven novel, I expected something much different. I figured that it would be a simple story with a typical fairy-tale plot (You know. The princess meets the prince, gets married, and lives happily ever after.). Instead I found a story with a wonderful plot filled with humor, friendship and love. I believe that any person who is in love with reading would enjoy this book (heck! My mom even loves this book!).
Rating: Summary: Wildly Imaginative Review: This book is really good. It is kinda a fairy tale based on a classic. It is a book that lets you fall into it, forms pics in your head, and where you get lost when you read it. Ella Enchanted is a great book. I recommend it to any one who has a vivid imagination!!
