Summary: an absolute for anyone who's ever picked up a book ever!
Review: This has to be THE best book I have ever read in my entire life.-and belive me, I've read alot of books. This book starts out with you crying, and ends with you glowing with joy. (And not to mention a whirlwind of emotions between.) I only suggest to start this book in the morning, because you won't want to stop until you finish it. (I started reading it at 11:30PM and ended somewhere around 2:00AM.) If you were stranded on a desert island, this would be a perfect book to be stranded with. Once again, and I can't stress this enough- this is a very, very, very, very, very good book.

Summary: EXCELLENT!!!
Review: I have read this book numberous times, and still can't put it down when I read it. It is filled with magical moments, hard ships, enchantment, and love. The thing I really liked was that the love parts were not really goooy, but exciting and questions filled my head such as, "Loves me. Loves me not...""Marry me. Marry me not..." Gail Carson did a wonderful job on this book. I wish there were more!!!

Summary: A Cinderella story that is thrilling from start to finish
Review: This version of the story contains more twists, turns, and surprises than any book I have ever read. The author uses suspense to keep your attention. My favorite part of the book was when Ella (Cinderella) was sent to boarding school. The most interesting character was Hattie, Ella's wicked stepsister. Unlike the original story, Ella is almost eaten by ogres. Also she goes to a giant's wedding. Nevertheless, these qualities make the book more flowing and interesting. I would highly recommend this book to anybody looking for adventure, fantasy, or romance.

Summary: The Most Heartwarming, Sweet Faiy Tale
Review: This is such a great book. I am 14 years old and it is just the right reading level, although kids and adults of all ages would really enjoy this story. The plot is that a young girl named Ella has been put under a spell by a fairy named Lucinda. She must obey when someone gives her a command-this proves to be a disadvantage to Ella. The book is an account of Ella's mother's death, her trip to finishing school, and her determination to break the horrible curse Lucinda bestowed on her. Meanwhile, Ella, a normal girl, has caught the eye of handsome, charming Prince Charmont. Through thick and thin, tricks and even curses, their friendship blossoms into love. The end is a blend of personal triumph and true happiness. I wish this magical Cinderella story would never end! This really is a great investment and a lovely story. I would recommend this book to any girl who likes fantasy or fairy tales, or anyone who liked Cinderella the Disney movie.Other Recommendations: All the Harry Potter books (a.k.a. the BEST books in the world, no doubt)

Summary: An Absoulutly Awesome Adventurous Novel
Review: A twisted "Cinderella Story" with hidden foreshadowing,Mrs. Levine weaves her first children's book winning a Caldecot medal. Ella is a clumsy, but good natured person--she's obedient, but not naturally. She was given the gift of obedience at birth which turned into a curse, and when worst comes to worst, Ella tells the story of how far she would go to free herself from the curse and guides you through her jouney on finding out the importance of being yourself. I rate this book 5 stars because it's not only the ultimate Cinderella story, but it's a mini love story in a way with twists and turns including elves and giants--because of this,Ella Enchanted has become my favorite novel and with each page my excitement grew larger and larger, forest to forest, town to town, and ogres to elves. I recommend this book to ages 10-14 because of its intense vocabulary. Both boys and girls who are interested in fantasy, adventure, and a good laugh every now and then, should read this book. Enjoy!

Summary: The best retelling in awhile
Review: I really think that this book should be rated about a billion stars. i love fairytales but this is so good. i fell in love with it. its an all around retelling of Cinderella. the author adds in a lot of extra pricks to make it totally different. the way that she spins this tale with old things and adding new things to create a heart stopping epic that makes you beg for more. the author has written a couple more books that were all great. I loved this book. I recomend this to anyone.
