Rating: Summary: "Ella Enchanted" is an amazing book! Review: "Ella Enchanted" by Gail Carson Levine is extremely well written, is humorous, and an altogether new Cinderella story!Ella is cursed with a 'gift' from the foolish fairy Lucinda. It is the gift of obedience which means that she would have to obey any command, even if it was a command to kill herself. With the help of her friends, Prince Char and Mandy, her nurse and cook (and something else), she struggles through a quest to find Lucinda to make her take her 'gift' away. She also has to tolerate her mean stepsisters Hattie and Olivia and their mother Dame Olga. But when her curse gets in the way of her love for Char, she has to find a way to break the curse all on her own. This book was wonderfully written! All the characters has such a nice and interesting personalities that you can't help but love every one of them, even Hattie and Olive, the stepsisters. The romance between Char and Ella is very cute, as my friend says. The story is very intriguing and you just have to finish reading it. Another book I like written by Gail Carson Levine is "The Two Princess of Bamarre," which has a bit of a darker tone, but is still very interesting.

Rating: Summary: Fresh, Funny, and Unforgettable Review: Ella of Frell has been given a gift, but it sure feels like a curse. An elusive fairy named Lucinda has bestowed upon Ella the gift of obedience. A nice, courteous gesture, right? Only Ella has to obey anyone and everyone, no matter who they are or what they command her. 'Ella' contains all the usual fantasy elements and characters - princes, magic, wicked stepsisters, giants, and more. But this tale is far from ordinary, thanks to Levine's outstanding storytelling. Reading 'Ella' reminds us how hard it is for teens to do the right thing and please everybody in the process. 'Ella Enchanted' is a well-written, funny, and touching book for all ages. If you enjoy the fantasy genre, and especially if you like Harry Potter, you'll love Ella. 232 pages
Rating: Summary: completly and utterly fabulous! Review: it's about this girl called ella who has a curse (although its refered to as a "gift") of obedience. if someone orders her to do something, anything, she has to do it immediently. you follow her on a quest to find the fairy who gave her this gift and get her to remove it. i fell instandly in love with this retelling of cinderella. the characters are remarkable, especially ella and her step family which im sure you'll enjoy depising as much as i did. its a love story and they dont normally impress me much but although i rolled my eyes at the fairytale ending i was smiling too. something like 3 years later and this is still one of my favorite books to kick back and read when i'm in need of a happy ending!
Rating: Summary: Enchanting Book Review: This is a wonderful book! I loved it! It is a Cinderella retelling that makes the characters seem very real and dynamic. I reccomend this book to anyone who likes fantasy.

I picked this book because I think it is funny, romantic exciting, and sad. Ella Enchanted is about a girl named Ella, who was put under a spell when she was born, by a fairy. She goes through life with the spell of obedience. That means that she has to do anything that she's told to. Even if it is from backing a pie to cutting off her own head!!!

Rating: Summary: magily realistic Review: Ella Enchanted is both real and unreal. You get so into reading this story that you can't tell the difference between reality and fantasy anymore. Each character, setting, and feeling, is so well described you feel like you're in the story. The main character is very believalbe, she is a regular teenager; she is clumsy, funny, smart, and improper. This book is witty, and beautifully written, it's without a doubt one of the best books you will ever read.
