Summary: A wonderful story
Review: Ella Enchanted... what can I say, this is a wonderful story. It's about a girl named Elenore (Ella) who was given the gift of obedience. Early in the story, her mother dies and her selfish father happens to sell property that doesn't belong to him. Leaving them almost penniless, he remarries to a lady named Olga. Lady Olga has two selfish daughters: Hattie and Olive. Hattie discovers Ella's secret of obedience and forces her to do as Hattie pleases. Ella seeks the farie that brought such misery to her life and faces orges, and unexpected romance. She breaks the spell herself when refusing to marry Char, the prince of Tortall, because of fear that he may be hurt. This is an astounding story with a mix of adventure, romance, and excitement.

Review: This book has it all! Ella Enchanted is one of my favorite books because it shines a new and less fairy tale like view on the Cinderella story. I suggest this book to anyone who likes fantasy, adventure or even romance (a bit)!

Summary: Enchanting!!!
Review: This is a momentous new version to the classic, "Cinderella". The characters are jocose and intresting. Ella is a 15-year-old girl who is cursed under a fairy's "gift" of oedience. Thus, Ella must obey any command directed towards her. Even though it may sound like an unusual curse, it's amusing how Ella copes with anything she endeavors. When I first came upon this book, I thought it wouldn't be any different to the original tale. Yet, as I started to read it, I was enthralled with the plot and characters. From the cruel stepsisters to Ella's relationship with the prince, this book is astonishing. I highly recommend this book to anyone, young or old. Furthermore, this book also poses a problem: you can't read it just once!

Summary: A Twisted Cinderella Story
Review: This was one of the very best books I have ever read. Based on the old tale of Cinderella, who had "evil" stepsisters, A "Prince CHARming" and a search for true love. It also has the glass slippers and a pumpkin carriage. This book is for EVERYONE.

Summary: THE MOST EXCITING BOOK
Review: For all you fairy tale lovers out there, this is a MUST READ. This is one of the most well written books I've ever read. Ella Enchated is about a girl named Ella (Get it? CinderELLA)who was bestowed a gift when she was born by a fairy. The gift of obedience. ...Yeah...some gift.... As she grows older, she realizes the danger that this fairy had given her. She is in danger at any moment, of anyday. Most parents would think that this would be a blessing for your child to have....But to all of us NORMAL PEOPLE...we realize that this is a horrible gift that was given to Ella. Ella goes on a thrilling adventure. But this isn't an everyday 21st century adventure. In Ella's world, fairies, orges, and meeting a prince is every day life. This story follows the outline of the well known Cinderella...atleast the main points...But has a funny twist to it. So...I hope you have a great time reading this book ~*MicheeDee*~

Summary: If you ever buy anything, buy this book.
Review: Gail Carson Levine has done something I never really thought possible. She has taken a story that was becoming somewhat "overdone" (who hasn't heard at least ten versions of Cinderella?) and made it entirely new and fresh. I didn't even notice some of the similarities as I was reading because the story is so sweet and enchanting for all ages. There's a lot of rich detail (languages, mystical creatures) and so many fun stories that this tale might well become the new and preferred Cinderella story. I love it. I read it for a Library Sciences class at UK, and I still read it several times a year even though I'm not a kid. It's a great heartwarmer.

Summary: Have You Ever Read Cinderella?
Review: Have you ever read Cinderella? It's a classic tale of a girl who has a hard life and ends up marrying a prince. Well that's what Ella Enchanted is with a twist to it. The author is Gail Carson Levine. The publisher is Harper Collins and the publishing date is 1997. Readers of all ages could enjoy this book. When Ella was born this fairy Lucinda granted her the gift of obedience. It was a horriable gift because when anybody told her to do something she had to do it no matter what. If someone said she had to chop off her head, she had to do it. When she was eight, she told her friend pamela about the 'curse'. After Pamela knew, she ordered Ella to do 'stuff'. In the end,Ella punched Pamela and their friendship was over that day. When Ella was about fifteen she and her mother Eleanor got sick. Mandy the cook and special friend made them some medicane soup. Vegtables and Unicorn hairs. Eleanor didn't drink the hairs, but Ella did. Then Eleanor died. At the funeral, Prince Charmont came; Madame Olga; her two daughter's, Hattie and Olive; and Ella's father Sir Peter. At the funeral, Sir Peter said that Ella was going to finishing school with Hattie and Olive. While she was there she was yelled at by teachers and Hattie and Olive. She also found a friend Areida. Then one night she ran away. Along the way she met some elfs. They gave her a pony, Some food, and a place to rest for the night. When she left the elfs, she ran into orges. They said I will eat you we've already eaten your pony. But Ella was quick and was able to talk the orges to sleep and then slipped away. This is a wonderful book, and I strongly suggest that anybody who loves Cinderella and Fairy Tales read this book. You should buy or get this book from the libary. It's that good. If you like Cinderella you'll just love this book!
