Summary: Great Book
Review: Just Ella is terrific story. It's the story of Ella and how ater she goes to the ball and wins the prince she doesn't like what she's gotten. Her days are filled with boring lessons with old teachers and the prince is as fun as a sack of potatoes. Ella is tired of being stuffed up inside the palace and she doesn't like the fact that she can't watch anything that consists of fighting or that the find innapropriate for ladies.
This is a wonderful tale for people of all ages. I'm 13 years old and I adore this book. I've had to buy my second one cause I wore out the first one so much. Makes a great gift and I'll suggest it to any fairy tale lover.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not Your Average Fairytale.
Review: This book was exsellent, though a fast read (a little over two days). It put a new twist on a classic stroy that all ages should enjoy. There's a cliff hanger in every chapter which keeps it flowing. I would recomed this book to anyone above the 4th grade, because there is a slight amount of language.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: a different slant on the Cinderella story
Review: I received this book with a bunch of others that a school teacher friend had given me and, being the book lover that I am, I had to read it before passing it along to another school teacher friend of mine. It is quite good. The language used in it is the more up to date lingo used today. Ella is going to marry Prince Charming and is being prepped to be a good princess, but doesn't know if she really loves Prince Charming or not as she gets to know him better. It is an excellent young adult book that they will really enjoy-I did.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Just Ella
Review: Just Ella is like a continuation of the Cinderella story. But Ella doesn't exactly live happily ever after. It turns out getting married to Prince Charming isn't as amazing as she thought. The people at the palace were empty-headed and too perfect. Not only that, but Ella realizes she wasn't exactly in love with Prince Charming. She was only in love with the image of Prince Charming. But the problem is, escaping the palace and all the things she hates there will prove even more difficult and dangerous that escaping her evil stepmother. I enjoyed this books a lot, although the ending wasn't that great. This is a good book for people who like fantasy and fairy tales.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ella, behind the life of a princess (or prisoner)
Review: This book is so great! If you love the cinderella stories(like Ella Enchanted, too. Not just the original), you'll love this book. It shows what life is like for a princess and it's not exactly pretty if you aren't arrogant or brought up to be one. It shows the other side of fairy tales; where things might not be so 'happily ever after'. As soon as you start, u can't put it down!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Will keep you captivated beginning to end!
Review: i liked this book! I finished it in about a day! you will love it too! Ella realizes Prince Charming is really not that charming... actually a jerk without any brain! Shes surrounded by even more evil and viciousness than at Lucille(her evil stepmother)'s house! She has to get out! But dont worry, this book has an ever after... a happily ever after and you will loooove this book, through and through. It's captivating and in every way magical!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THIS IS NOT A SEQUEL TO ELLA ENCHANTED!
Review: I would like to explain that this is not a sequel to ella enchanted. It is totally a different story. In Ella Enchanted she is already married in the end, and in here she is engaged!!!
This book is very fun to read and it doesn't take too long to read either.
And if it was a sequel, Gail Carson Levine would have written it. Just Ella is written by Margaret Haddix.
I am very glad that i read this book.
And i am very glad that we now understand that it is not a sequel.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: With a twist in the middle.
Review: It's about a girl name Ella. Her stepmother prefers Ella as a servant than a stepdaughter. She wanted to go to the ball, but her stepmother wouldn't let her go. She turned out going anyway. She found her mother's dress. The dress was perfect for the ball. And got glass shoes from a person that says that he could make anything. When she got to the ball she finally met the prince. They loved each other. Until she wasn't sure at all if he really loved her. Then she refuses to marry with Prince Charming. She turned out to be in the dungeon, till she says that she will marry the prince. She found a way how to escape from the dungeon. She made a hole. Then she escaped. To find her friend, Jed. Then when she found him. He asked her to marry him. But she didn't want to marry him yet, and he can ask her later in 6 months. Ella is a heroine person. To escape from the dungeon. It turns out in the ending that one of her stepsister married the prince.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the anti-fairytale
Review: Some... er, people... think this book has something to do with Ella Enchanted, but don't be fooled into thinking this is a sequel in any way. Just because both books involve a main character named Ella does not mean it's related. Especially when they're by two different authors! But on with the review.
Just Ella is a fabulous anti-fairytale story. It's like a continuation of Cinderella, only everything that had once gone completely right has now gone absolutely wrong. This young woman has done everything to become a princess and wife to the man she thought was her very own Prince Charming, but it turned out that he was only Prince Dull in disguise. So, defying the Cinderella tradition, she refuses to marry Charming and takes fate into her own hands. The book leaves off with Ella having control to do what she pleases, and that's why this book is an empowering message to women (and girls like myself) everywhere.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: This book was a poor excuse for a sequal
Review: This book was nothing like ella enchanted. Halfway through the book i started wondering even if it was a sequal at all...for example, in the first book she called the prince Char, in the second, it was Charm...i know its not much of a difference but im picky like that. Plus its by a different author AND she looks completly different on the first cover then she does from the second, she does not have blonde hair!. I was 10 when i read this and it seemed a tad bit adult for me. However if i hadn't read Ella enchanted i would say it was half way decent. But overall i hated it.
