Rating: Summary: Cinderella from a new angle Review: Ella Enchanted is Cinderella with an exciting twist. Ella's hada curse her whole life, the curse of obedience.I love the languages ofthe Ogres,Gnomes and Elves. Her stepmother is unbearably plastic, Prince Char is lovable and sweet. Over all this is a funny,endearing and clever book,that you shouldn't miss.
Rating: Summary: My new favorite Review: This has become my favorite book. Reading it before Harry Potter was too bad, because if I had read it AFTER I'd have been REALLY blown away. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is a very good book, but Ella Enchanted is even better. Probably the more realistic plot, even if it is a fantasy land, contributed to this view. I fell in love with Prince Char right along with Ella. Do buy this book.
Rating: Summary: Read this book! Review: This book is one of the best books I have ever read. It kept my interest the whole way through. I thought it had a very clever ending and an interesting plot. This book is about a girl in the middle ages who has to break an obedience spell that was put on her at birth. I think that this book would be a good book for girls between the ages of 12-14.
Rating: Summary: i love this book Review: my mom got me this book at the library and i told her that i would hate it. but when i read it i found myself enjoying it.
Rating: Summary: Romance is the one word for it. Review: All I can say is that Ella Enchanted is a book that is so romantic you can feel the love,pain,and kiss in your hart.
Rating: Summary: wonderful! Review: A review of Ella enchantedThis book is wonderful because of all the bizarre creatures (giants, ogres, elves and gnomes). I like all the courage of Ella when she faces the dangers, and I like the idea of the curse.
Rating: Summary: uninventive and for-girls-only Review: I was extremely disappointed with this book, which has somehow achieved successful status with readers and booksellers alike. Not only is it both a precious and boring retelling of a story already told clearly and simply, it is an unfulfilled promise of an adventure story for much of the first half of the book, and an insipid, somewhat chauvinistic romance for much of the second. After two children turned their noses up at it saying that it was "boring and stupid", I thought that surely they must be wrong. After a quick read (more time than it deserved), I fully agree. A two-fisted "thumbs down".
Rating: Summary: A delightful and satisfying new twist on an old tale Review: Ella is a beautifully believable expansion of the simple old Cinderella fairy tale. Did you ever wonder why Cinderella ended up scrubbing the floors in her rich dad's home? Why didn't she just run away? Now you will understand.
This Ella has an engaging personality and plenty of spunk. But a foolish fairy has given her the "gift" of obedience. Can you imagine being forced to follow any order? A fascinating adventure comes to life in intricate and engrossing detail. We my daughter and I, both loved it.
