This book kept me on my toes. While I was reading it I couldn't help but wonder if she wiuld break the curse. Praise for this book.

I have just finished reading this book. It truly is magnificent. I love books where There are faeries and imaginative creatures. I also love books where they fall in love with a prince. I'm 12 years old, and most books on my reading level are not about those things. They are thought of as childish, but I certainly don't think so. I wish that Gail Carson Levine or any great author would write a book just like this one. With faeries, and gnomes, and princes. I especially hope that she would write a sequal to this book. Maybe about their children or somthing, I don't know. I just really would love to read another fabulous book such as this one! Thanks~ @¿@

there should be a part two


This book is the best but I never new it would become a movie.
I think I am going to read it right now.

This book is great. It is definitely one of my favorites. Ella Enchanted is a retelling of the story Cinderella. It is about a girl named Ella who was given a curse that makes her obedient. So whatever anyone tells her to do she has to be obedient and do it. This book is wonderfully described and you'll want to read it over and over again. I highly recommend this book. Also they're making a movie about it. Its supposed to come out in 2003 or 2004 (there were two different release dates that I found, I'm not sure which one is correct) I'd also recommend reading The Two Princesses of Bamarre which is also by Gail Carson Levine.

This has to be my favorite book of all time! Everytime I read the book I get a little more out of it, something I missed before. She does the best job of describing everything! When I read it I feel like I'm in the book trailing along behind Ella and watching her adventures (which gets hard when you want to help her), understanding her predicaments and knowing eactly how she feels. All I have to say is this book is AWESOME! If I could I'd give it a 10 out 5.
PS Read The Two Princesses of Bamarre also!

I really loved this book and i really wish that the author could come up with a sequel to the book !!!!!!!!1

This book has examples of every emotion a poet could dream of and the story makes the classic Cinderella story so much better than the origianal. We've read this book numerous times and loved it more and more each time. We're so glad it's becomming a movie!!!:)
