Summary: What a GREAT book! I loooooved it!
Review: Ella Enchanted was such a teriific book. My friend made me read it and I'm glad she did. I'd recomend this book to anyone! Read it! My favorite part was when Ella escaped finishing school, and was captured by the ogres. The book is really exciting because you never know what is going to happen next. This book is a lot better than the origonal story, Cinderella. I also liked the fact that it was based in the middle ages, one of my favorite time periods. The mix of fictional characters, such as elves, centaurs, giants, and ogres was great. Good job Gail!

Summary: This is my absolute favorite book of all time
Review: This really IS the best book I have ever read. It is so great I had to read it at least 5 times before I could get over it and then I had to read a bunch more times. I know it by heart. Well, not really but practically. This really is the best I recomend you buy it even if you never read anything else in your life. It is funny and sad and heartwarming in a realisticaly fantastical way. Even adults will love it, I guarentee. Just get it from the library if you don't have fifteen bucks, but if you love it as much as I do you'll have to buy it. I never even realized till the end it was about Cinderella, but that just made it all the better. This is my absolute most favorite book and from me that's saying a lot.

Summary: My god! I love this book!
Review: I love it! I love it! I love it! I love it! My god, I love it! Ella Enchanted is my most favorite book ever. Because of this I'm looking forward to the movie Ever After, though I hoped that they'd base the movie after Ella Enchanted. Their loss. I cry every time I read this book, I don't know why. It has such a wonderful ending! I love it! Goodness, I'm talking nonsense. But I still love this book. You can't every put it down. Ella is such a wonderful person, kind, nice, spunky, and very real. Most authors make their characters perfect, but Ella has real thoughts. Char sounds like the type of rare guy who acts like a human-being and is the girl's ideal prince.

Summary: "Ella" a Delightful Romp Through a Classic
Review: Levine's take on the classic Cinderella story was one of great imagination and clarity. We've all wondered what happened to our heroine after the slipper fit on her foot, and Levine finally explains it to us. I was delighted with the way Ella's background was revealed to us through her escapades and near shaves. In Ella, Levine has given us a spirited and spunky heroine whom children can admire. I work in a library and read this in my free time. This is a book I will definitely add to my library and will pass down to my children.

Summary: THE MAGIC OF THE HUMAN HEART
Review: Our (Cinder)-Ella is a dedicated young lady who has been "cursed" at birth by an inconsiderate fairy with the Gift (as she insists it is) of Obedience! She becomes physically ill when she tries to delay, resist or ignore a command; after enduring horrible suffering for disobedience, she ultimately surrenders to the speaker's will. Thus she can be manipulated by selfish, spiteful people into doing things against her heart's desire and best interests--even if they do not realize the details of her instant cooperation. Is there no way for her to get free of this curse, so she may live a normal life? The only daughter of Sir Peter of Frell--an often absent merchant of questionable methods--and Lady, her free-spirited mother, Ella suspects that their kindly, gray-haired cook, Mandy, might actually be a Fairy in disguise. Beware the consequences of Big Magic; her godmother balks at performing even Small magic. But Ella is determined to to seek out the elusive, whimsical Lucinda the Beautiful, to beg her or make her (as if Ella could be giving orders!) remove the curse. Just how much does a girl have to sacrifice because of a heedless fairy: her mother's best necklace, peace of mind, the right to make her own behavioral decisions, the safety of her country, the happiness of her Prince--even her very life she were commanded to do so? The enchanted status quo simply can not be allowed to continue indefinitely. This cleverly-expanded retelling of the famous fairy tale fleshes out a paper maiden/princess into a real human being, with all the dimensions of a young lady coming into (medieval) marriageable age. Her snobby step mum and two horrid step- sisters treat her with delicious and predictable cruelty--psychological as well as physical. And Prince Charmant is a dear, from sliding down the bannisters to finding the glass slippers. Three Balls, two fairies and a magic Fairy Tale book ultimately conspire to help Ella help herself. But the greatest magic of all is found in t! he depths of a maiden's tender heart. The literary style immediately reminded me of Catherine, called Birdy; in fact Karen Cushman is one of three women authors who praised the book. A quick read with tons of dialogue, witty mental retorts, and surprising denouement, which will satisfy most Happy-Ever-After ending seekers!
