Summary: Amazing Re-Telling of Cinderella
Review: Obedience. Fifteen-year-old Ella never would have had this problem if that fool of a fairy Lucinda hadn't given her the gift of obedience at birth. Gift, more like a curse. Ella grew-up in the land of Frell, having to obey everything that anyone told her. She had no choice, for if she tried to fight the curse, she would make herself sick. Her Mother took excellent care of her, but her Father, Sir Peter of Frell, well, he was fairly nonexistent. Then of course there's Prince Charmont, whom she makes fast friends with. Of course, when Ella's Mother passes away, Sir Peter suddenly realizes that he has a daughter, and sends her to finishing school with two horrible wenches, Hattie, and Olive, who, unfortunately, have found out that Ella must obey everything that they say. Now Ella is searching for a way to escape from finishing school, break the curse, and live happily ever after with Prince Charmont, but all of that is easier to say, than do.I decided to pick up ELLA ENCHANTED when I heard about the movie starring Anne Hathaway. I was not in any way, shape, or form, disappointed in my decision to purchase this novel. Gail Carson Levine has created a classic novel in ELLA ENCHANTED, that will go down in history. She has put a new spin on the classic tale of CINDERELLA. A new spin that makes the story even more interesting than the original. Ella is an exciting character, whom is spirited, independent, and intelligent. It's a pleasure to get to read about all of the adventures she encounters, whether with royalty, ogres, trolls, wicked stepsisters, fairies, etc. Fans of the original tale of CINDERELLA will relish in the new twists and turns that Gail Carson Levine has spun into ELLA ENCHANTED. A must-have book for all ages. Erika Sorocco

Summary: Totally Worth It!
Review: Ella Enchanted is one of my favorite stories and it will most likely be yours if you buy it on Amazon right now. I first discovered this story because I had to read it for school, so I thought it would just be another lame spin off of Cinderella. I was shocked to find that it wasn't bad at all, but an "enchanting" story for all ages. If your child needs or wants a book and enjoys fantasy, this is the one for them. I do not reccommend this story for boys though because it contains a relationship. All adults could read this novel, but children from 9 to 12 would be the best age range.I hope you enjoy Ella Enchanted- go out and buy it today!

Summary: Ella Enchanted me
Review: This book was breath taking. This was one of the best books i have ever read. Ella is the type of girl that just doesnt have the "damsel in distress" type of thing going for her.Sure like any girl she has her fair share of trouble, step sisters, step mom, callous fahter, loss of her mother, and an obdience curse upon her. This obdience curse was placed upon her as a child by the ditzy fairy lucinda. With the help of her charming best friend who is also her fairy/chef she tries to overcome this curse, and win the heart of the prince who already has hers. This book is the type of book where you can open up to any page and be captivated by the storyline,text,or trouble going on there. If you read this book you'll be as enchanted as I am every time i read it.

Summary: A Lasting Impression
Review: I first picked up Ella Enchanted when I was in the fourth grade. It was my favorite book and I read it until half of the pages fell out. I'm sixteen years old now and just recently my boyfriend bought me a new copy for my birthday. I didn't expect it to have the same ability to capture me in the story but before I knew it I spent an entire Saturday reading. I guess what I'm trying to say is that no matter how old you are, this is a great story and no matter who you're thinking of getting it for, they will love it.

Summary: The Enchanted World of Ella
Review: The Enchanted World of Ella
Ella Enchanted Gail Carlson Levine This story is about a girl named Ella who has a spell on her and her mother who is dead has a spell on her too. She has a maid who is a fairy godmother to Ella and she helps Ella through her problems.
There is a evil fairy named, Lucinda. She is the one who put the spell on Ella and her mother. An exciting thing that happened in the book is that when Ella has to go to a place sort of like a prison. She meets a girl there that ends up her friend and her friend helps her get to know the place and teaches her a different language. Then on the 3rd night she is there she runs away. She goes into a dark forest and in the morning she sees a little goblin and takes it to her mother. The mother thanked Ella by making her stay with the rest of the goblins. Then next day Ella trys to find her father again. Who I think who would enjoy this book is a person who enjoys Cinderella stories. Ella Enchanted is a very good book and is sort of another version of Cinderella. Its similar to Cinderella because there is an evil fairy, stepmother and stepsisters, a good fairy that helps Ella and that Ella was a maid like Cinderella was. I would rate this book a 10. It was very good. Anyone would like this book. Anyone who reads this book I hope you like it, its very good. Hope you enjoy it very well!

Summary: Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine
Review: Ella Enchated is about a girl named Ella who,at birth, was placed under a curse. The curse was the curse of obedience.This book is about how Ella goes on a journey to find the fairy, Lucinda. On the way, she runs into princes, ogres, giants, wicked stepsisters, and fairy godmothers. Ella goes on a quest to break the curse-once and for all. This story is a summery of the movie, CINDERELLA. It's a great book and I think that everyone should read it.

Summary: Ella is a favorite...let's hope the movie does it justice
Review: I have loved Ella Enchanted for years. I have read it about 8 times (literally)and I hope that anyone who reads it will love it. It is smart, witty, and full of great characters. I have seen that there is a movie being made of the book, and I fear I will be very disappointed. Miramax seems to have ignored most of Levine's excellent storyline and characters and have kept only the idea of a cursed girl named Ella falling in love with a Prince Charmont, struggling to be able to live a normal life and marry her love. Most of the other characters have been altered in some way (example: Mandy is quite old, with frizzy hair and two chins. She is not Minnie Driver), King Jerrold and Queen have been killed off and an evil uncle has been introduced to add extra, unneeded menace to Ella's curse. It looks frighteningly like cotton-candy fluff entertainment. Let us hope for the best. Until then, I HIGHLY recommend the book, Ella Enchanted

Then, when Ella's fairy godmother, Mandy, tells Lucinda to try her gifts on herself, she realizes what she has done. She gets rid of her magic, so she can't take away the curse from Ella. Find out how Ella breaks it herself!
