Summary: Superb!
Review: Ella Enchanted was the first book I ever read of Levine's, and is a delightful novel for all ages. If you like fantasy, and like Cinderella, you'll enjoy this novel.

This novel is more than just a simple retelling of the classic tale of Cinderella, but is an original story all its own, about Ella, a strong, intelligent heroine, whose trials and tribulations bring new light to the original tale. Be sure to read this book--it's worth it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Delicate but Comical
Review: This is the best book ever written. I love languages- like saying the elvish in Lord of the Rings. I loved trying to read gnomich and elvish and giantish even more. I would practice every word until I got it perfect.
Ella is pert and hostile to the world. Like me. She hates having people decide for her.
Hattie is wretched. I have never met [as far as books go, and fortunatly not in the real world either] a more sadistic, pernicious character. I loathed her and Olive as much as anyone could possibly hate anyone else. She is not a fearsome idol [as is Mr. Doom in Dave at Night.] She is stupid and souly jarring.
Mrs. Levine has done an admirable job, and I commend her for her efforts.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow...
Review: Unlike many Cinderella stories, Ella is a spunky and brave heroine. Nothing gets in her way, not even the curse put upon her my the ditzy Lucinda, of obedience. I read this book for the first time in the 5th grade and have reread it too many to count times. Ella Enchanted is a very detailed read, but not so much so as to bore its reader. If you don't already own this book, buy it now. I guarantee you will not only be satisfied, but thrilled every time you read it.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The best book ever read by me
Review: Everybody has heard the story Cinderella,but not everybody has heard Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine.It is Cinderella retold,but much better.This is a marvelous and delightful book for those who like fairy tales.Some parts in the book are humorus. For instance one of her stepsisters wears a wig! In the beginning Ella was meant to get a gift not a curse.Her so called 'gift' is obedience. She has to do anything someone commands her to do.Ella has a lot of hard times with her curse.In the end it ends extremely excellent.Ella and her curse along with problems is what makes this book worth reading.Levine really did a delightful job writing Ella Enchanted.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cinder Ella
Review: Carson Levine has retold the tale of Cinderella in a wonderful young-adults novel named Ella Enchanted.Ella was cursed at birth to be always obedient,it was always fun to wonder what Ella would have to do next.(I wonder if you could order her NOT to be obedient therefore breaking the spell?Ok,maybe not)She is forced to live with a horrible stepmother and 2 wicked stepsisters,one who has figured out Ella's curse,and enjoys lording over her.For some time Ella even had to starve as this wicked and ugly girl would tell her,"Don't eat that,Ella." every meal time!!What will finally break Ella's life-long curse,the thorn in her side???Be enchanted by this story and find out.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: SOOOO BORING
Review: Ella Enchanted was one of the worst books ever!
I an 10 and have read too many books to count. This book had a weak plot and I could randomly guess what would happen next. If you want a thriller, dont get this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent book!!!
Review: My cousin gave me Ella Enchanted about a year ago. I read the back and thought "not another Cinderella story." I didn't read it until last summer on a very boring day. It was nothing like the Cinderella story I had in mind..... it was a thousand million times better!!! This is one of my favorite books and well..... just read it!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Greta Read
Review: By far, one of the best books I have read all year was Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine. This book tells the story of a girl named Ella. When Ella was born she wouldn't stop crying, so a fairy gave her the gift of obedience. The so called gift ultimately turns out to be a curse. Ella ends up getting so frustrated with the curse that she goes looking for the fairy to ask her to take it back. One reason I really liked this story is because it was very funny. It wasn't funny by what they said, but by how much the story is related to the fairy tale Cinderella. In relation to Cinderella, Ella has a fairy godmother, an evil stepmother and stepsister, and she falls in love with a handsome prince named Char. Another reason I really liked this book is because it had a genuine plot. Ella looks everywhere to find the fairy and asks her to take the curse back. However, the fairy refuses. Thus she starts to think that she may have to live with this curse forever, or will she? I also enjoyed this book because it was very descriptive. When I read it, in my mind I could picture what each person looked like. If any person should read one book in their life it should be Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine. With its mixture of comedy, details, and an amazing plot, I think everyone will enjoy this book tremendously!
