this is a really great book. i absolutly love it. i love the fact that unlike other cinderella stories its a girl who saves the day or her life in other words. the movie was good i guess and funny.

I first read Ella Enchanted when I was about 12. It was my favorite book for quite a while. So I was really excited when I found out that a movie was coming out. Until I saw the trailer. I can't believe Gail sold out, because now it will be remembered for that awful girly movie instead of the great book.

Anyway, back to the book. It's another modern Cinderella story, and the best one I've read so far. I'd highly recommend it to female readers aged 11+, because I don't think boys would really get into it!

I think all teenage girls would love it. Don't get put off by the movie, the book is brilliant!

Have you read this book? If you answered no, get off your chair and walk straight to the nearest bookstore and BUY it!!!

Why? This book is awesome! Who ever thought that obedience could turn into a never-ending curse? Who ever thought that there could be MORE mean stepmothers and stepsisters? Who ever thought that there would be such things as friendly elves, and fun giants?

Gail Levine tells of an extraordinary journey, starting just like any 'ole fairy tale. I congratulate the author on such a fine job!

Reccommended.

this is no ordinary fairytale.
yes it has all the familar elements:loveable female lead, ugly step sisters, a fairy god mother and a prince charming.
yet even as it is told in true cinderella style it has a modern feel to it. no it doesn't take place in today's world and you proberbly can't find magic glass slippers in reality, but the writer expresses real emotions that fairytales lack. emotions that the reader can relate to .
my fav part of this book was the ending, but i won't give it away. it was definitly one of my fav books i read this year.

This book was just wonderful. It was full of excitement and always kept you wondering what was going to happen next. This book was one that I sometimes pick up and just spend an afternoon reading becuase it takes you into its own little world of fantasy and wonder. I recomend this book to anyone who looks a true fairtale!
