Summary: Delightful
Review: Friends gave this book as a gift to my infant daughter, so I figured she wouldn't mind if I read it before she did (I couldn't bear to wait 8 years). I read it in one sitting and enjoyed every minute of it. What a wonderful book for young people.

Summary: An enchanted cinderella fairytale.
Review: The book Ella enchanted was so wonderful for me to read, even though I exceed the age limits for this book by one year. This story was an excellent variation of Cinderella and left me with a smile on my face. Ella Enchanted was the kind of book that leaves you wanting to read more and more of it. I personally found the story so grasping as if I wished I could be the main character for just one minute. In this book Ella discovers that even though she was put under the horrible curse that Lucinda the Fairy left her with at birth is restricting, she can with the help of her godmother and her very dear friend Prince Charmont that she can break free from the curse. When Ellas mother dies and she is left with her father who is always away she must learn to get along with their cook, Mandy. After Ellas father sends her to finishing school in a town far away from her home and her friends, she is forced to deal with the episodes of Hattie and Olive who have discovered her secret and are using it to their advantage. Ella goes through a lot but in the end?????????

Summary: Ella Enchanted was a wonderful novel!
Review: I thought Ella Enchanted, written by Gail Carson Levine ,was a wonderful novel and very well written! I loved it so much; there were times when I could not put the book down. Intended to be a good gift, Lucinda gave the gift of obedience to Ella at birth. It turned into a very nasty spell though! There were times when I felt very bad for Ella, such as when she had to give her necklace, which had great significance, to Hattie because she was told to, or when she had to stay upstairs when Char came to visit because Hattie told her to, and he thought Ella just didn't want to see him. I basically thought the whole spell, in general, was quite sad! Although I thought that the spell and some of the things Ella had to do were upsetting, there were some terrific parts in the book. I loved how she got to go back and live with Mandy, Ella's fairy godmother, and I also loved the part when Ella and Char, the prince she wanted to marry, were sliding down the stair rails. I found that part of the book very entertaining! I also loved how Ella and Char re-met. Ella wore a mask to the ball, just wanting to see Char once more, and then, her mask got pulled off, and she was revealed! I thought it was a very creative way to have them meet again. I was excited it all turned out the way I had hoped, and it had a "Happily Ever After" ending. Ella Enchanted was the classic Cinderella story. I would recommend it to anyone because it is a very good and entertaining book! It may be a little difficult for some people to get into it, but once you hit a certain point, it's a wonderful story that is good for people of all ages!

Summary: This book is my 2nd favorite in the world. Fabulous, great!
Review: Ella Enchanted was an amazing book. I positively loved it. It was just what I love, adventure, mystery, suspense, and romance. Most of my favorite books have those characteristics. I read lots and lots of books. Ella Enchanted was my 2nd favorite book in the world, which says a lot judging by the hundreds of books I read and love. Ella Enchanted was fascinating and mystical. I loved it. I give some credit to my friend who lent it to me (I'll have to buy it myself though, it was so good} and most of the credit to the brilliant author, but some credit must to the idea itself. The book was fantasy really but had such a realistic attitude with the romance etc it seemed very real indeed. I didn't put it down till the end. It was great. It was amazing. What more can I say? It's just that when I love a book so much I'm not satisfied until I let the whole world know about it. I certainly hope everyone with a good imagination and a love of adventure and romance will get to read. Congratulations to the author, the publisher, and everyone fortunate enough to read this fabulous piece of literature. Thank you so much for this book and giving me a chance to express my feelings about it.

Summary: Just Read The Book!!!!!!!
Review: I didn't know if I was going to like this book. For a class course I had to read 30 books in a semester. Well, to my surprise when I picked this book up, ( Ella Enchanted ) I had a hard time putting it down. I'm reading it for the second time now. I see more this time than I did the first. I like the fairy tale it holds within it. Ella sure has her hands full through out the book........I hope that everyone that opens the pages of Ella Enchanted gets the feeling of being there with Ella and/or within her shoes. I enjoyed this book very much!!!!!!!!
