Ella doesn't just go to the ball, meet the prince and live happily ever after just like that. Oh no. She goes throught an adventure full of fairys, ogers, giants, elves, princes, an evil stepfamily, an arrogent father, and love. I love this book. It's funny, advenurous, and sometimes seriouse. I would recomend this it to all ages. Now that you've listened(or in your case read) this "speach" of mine, I have a mishon for you. Your mishon: to read this book!

Summary: fantasy
Review: I really recommend this book. It is a very good book. It is a book for people about 12 and older because of adult situations, like mild violence. The ogre said," how do you like to be cooked? Bloody? Medium? Or done to a crisp?" I am 14 and it is one of my favorite books. It really has different acts of drama, like sad, happy, exciting, and scary. It is also funny too. I like this book because of all the different characters in the book. If you like fantasy and adventure then you will like this book. It is also a very loving book with lots of emotions. Char says," Ella will you marry me?" Ella says," Yes I'll marry you. Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Summary: **My absolute Favorite book of all time!!!!**
Review: This book is so GREAT!!!!!!!! I have read it at least 25 times. It is so wonderful, and is a GREAT story of triumph! Ella is a great girl because she believes in herself. The only thing I disliked was when she wrote a note to Char pretending to be Hattie...I felt like yelling "NO! DON'T DO THAT!!!* That's how real the book seemed to me. Every time I read it, I'm crying at the end when Ella ****** the *****. (sorry, I can't tell the reader of this review what happens at the end!!!

Summary: Enchanted!!!!!
Review: Ella Enchanted is a very unique story. This novel is a spin-off of the classic fairytale Cinderella with a twist. The theme throughout this novel is good versus evil. Ella is in constant battle with a gift or curse of obedience that was given to her at birth by a fairy named Lucinda. The setting and the characters are both outside the realm of the possible. Ella has a fairy godmother that can perform magic and cast spells. The setting is in an imaginary city called Frell, of Kyrria. There are elves, gnomes, and ogres in this story who along with the prince, wicked step sisters and fairies manage to keep on her toes at all times. She is in conflict with every one of these characters in the story. Ella, who gives a descriptive and detailed account of her journey to find Lucinda, and road to freedom, tells this story in first person. Will Lucinda be able to take away her gift that she bestowed upon Ella or can Ella free herself of this so called "gift?"

Summary: I can't find the words...
Review: Ok, this is my favorite book! I think I've said all that needs to be said by saying that. I read a lot, and I mean A LOT, and I still find this book the best escape, the most enchanting, the most fun, and the most comforting. If you love fantasy, fairy tales, humor, or adventure, or if you're a teen girl...or ANY age, don't live your life without reading this. I have to admit that I read it at least once every year. Once you have read the first words, "That fool of a fairy Lucinda..." you'll fall in love with the story. Believe me, it's more than just a "fairy tale."

Summary: A really good book...
Review: This book is a different way of telling the story of Cinderella. This is fun to read. The rest of the reviews I read about the book seem to agree with me. It's such a good book, that I actually bought another one after the girls in my entire freshman batch read it to pieces (literally). =)

Summary: An all time favorite!
Review: "Ella Enchanted" is one of my all time favorite books. I read it in 5th grade, and now (at age 15) read it over and decided this book needs to be shared as much as possible. Ella, is a "real world" Cinderella, who is put upon the seemingly harmless and useful spell of obedience. Ella soon learns this is more like a curse, literally having to do what others command. The book gives the example that if she were commanded to chop off her own head, she would have to. Soon Ella comes across many other problems, and, well, the book is just splendid. Ms. Levine, I commend you for such a wonderful book you have written. I hope that if I ever have a daughter, I will be able to read this book to her, and enjoy it time after time.

Summary: !~~whoa!!
Review: Oh My Goddess!!!Once I read the first sentence of the book, I couldn't pause for a moment to stop reading it.I'm totaly in for this book. It's a retold story of Cinderella which Ella of Frell(the main character) has a gift of obedience which a foolish Fairy gave to her that turns out to be a curse for if anyone orders her to hop on one foot for a day and a half, or chopping off her hown head she would surely follow and do it. Now, she struggles on a quest with princes, ogres, giants, wicked stepsisters, and fairy grandmothers to break her curse and live a life free. I recommend this book to everyone. Even adults would surely enjoy reading this book!

Summary: It's Cinderella - but better
Review: Ella Enchanted is probably the best "Cinderella" story I've ever read. It starts the morning when Ella (no, her real name is not Cinderella, it's actually Elanor) is given a "gift" from a fairy. The gift, which it really a curse, makes her obiedient. If she's given a direct command she has to do it.
The beginning for the book lacks emotion--it's just Ella telling us a story. Towards the middle of the book, when the Conderella theme becomes more noticable, some emotion starts coming out. The end of the book makes up for the beginning--it's fireworks of emotion and feeling!
Though the end is slightly perdictable, this is a very good book. Anyone who likes books like "A Walk To Remember" will love this.
My only real complaint is that I would have liked the book to be longer. When I finally turned the last page I was dying for more.
