Summary: It was true love for me
Review: Rarely does one find a children's book that is as potentially appealing to adults as it is to children. 'Ella Enchanted' kept me up at night till the wee hours of the morning--I wanted to see what would happen!

The first-person narrative is immediately endearing, capturing the personality of the main character in just a few lines. All the major characters are drawn and handled with care. My personal favorite was Ella's father--so heartless, yet so likable at the same time. Such a complex character rarely makes an appearance even in adult fiction.

The romance between Ella and Char made me laugh and sigh by turns. While a deep romance featuring a fifteen-year-old girl is not exactly believable, if one succeeds in suspending disbelief there is a beautiful depiction of the relationship, yet without ever becoming overdone or sappy.

I also liked the way Levine draws on elements from the original fairy tale while giving them a new twist--such as the obedience spell.

The only problem I had with this book were the occasional logical gaps that detracted somewhat from the plot's believability. Yet this is a minor detail, and one that I would probably not have noticed at age nine--which is, after all, the ideal age to read this book. But a teenager or an adult who is interested in fairy tale re-tellings should enjoy this hilarious new spin on 'Cinderella'.

Summary: Not much to say, except that it's a good book!
Review: Ella Enchanted is a very oringinal book. There's not much more to say after that...it can be confusing...slighty boring at rare times...long...the scene where she conquers her "weakness" is very good. And in conclusion, most every good reader, grades 3-8, will enjoy this book!

Rating: 5 stars

If you read this book, I can tell you that you made the right choice. Hope you enjoy it!

Summary: AMAZING! GREAT!
Review: This was one of the greatest books I've ever read! There is this girl named Ella who has to deal with A LOT more than we do! First, a fairy named Lucinda gives her the "gift" of obedience.Then her mother dies.Next, her father sends her off to finishing school where she gets tormented by a mean girl named Hattie who knows that for some reason Ella has to obey her every command! Then she runs away and almost gets eaten by an ogre! This story is VERY good and VERY realistic! You MUST read it!

Summary: "Ella Enchanted" Enchants!
Review: The book Ella Enchanted is a wonderful fantasy story that will delight readers of all ages. Although you may think it is just another variation on the story of Cinderella, you are wrong! The story is kind of like the classic fairy tale, but with a wonderful plot woven through that will keep you reading till the very end. The book begins by introducing a girl named Eleanor, and the curse that was bestowed upon her as a child: obedience. It may not sound like a bad thing, but when you have to obey everything everyone says, imagine the sort of danger you can get in! The reader will follow Ella as she meets a charming prince, Char, goes to finishing school, and almost gets eaten by ogres. By the end of the book you will feel as if you personally know Ella, and I'm sure every girl will wish they could have her determined nature, good sense of humor, and her prince! :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I smile just thinking about this book!
Review: I love this book! Gail Carson Levine did a wonderful job. The characters are all strong, which helps the reader feel like they know them. The plot of Cinderella is skillfully weaved into the story line, with just enough interesting twists to keep you on the edge of your seat. It also ends up being more believable in my opinion, because the strength of Ella's charecter in more understandable than the weak Cinderella that is so classicly used. There are funny parts, touching parts, and exciting parts. It is the only book that I will finish, then open it up at the beginning and start again. Every time I read it, it brings a smile to my face.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Book!
Review: This is a great book! It will keep the action flowing in every page. Sometimes you'll think this book isn't worth reading but it is! Ella has to go through hundreds of spells and problems. It is a great feeling to hear about other people's problems and not just yours. The author gives great detail of everything and paints a picture in your head of what is happening in the book. READ THIS BOOK! It is worth it!
