Ella Enchanted is my absolutely favorite book. All girls anywhere from the ages of 10-16 and their moms will love it too. Ella of Frell is an excellent character, and the book has a great flow to it. A little bit of fantasy + humor + romance = great book. One caution is I don't recommend boys to read this. To all the men out there, don't waste your time on such a girly book! Although the targeted readers are limited, the story's can't-put-it-down-plot and unique characters make up for it's few faults. Attention girls: you have to read this completely awesome book!

This is a very great book that I think everyone should read. And to tell the truth, I fell in love with the prince too! I wish that I was Ella! Like none other fairytales, this one had the romance, comedy, and plot that no other fairy tale has! I am really glad that Gail wrote this book!But the horrible thing is, I don't have her bravery. Even though I read it already, I read it over again every day! I think that the book is finer than the movie even though I never seen it. I really loved cinderella, but I think that Ella Enchanted is 10 times better!
Maybe, they will make the movie disney cinderella cartoon style!

Ella Enchanted is a wonderful fantasy. I read it at last 4 times! The writing sounds like a real 14 or 15 year old girl under a spell. Ella is quirky, full of energy, and fun-loving. I reccomended this book to one of my friends and she loved it!

It is only the best book in the world! I think I have read it 100 times! I once met Gail Carson Levine at my school when she visited Germany, and it was the coolest thing ever! I also love her other books like The Two Princesses of Bamare and the Princess tails. The author adds a personality to the tales that make it real! My favorite is of course Ella! You made her nice, and yet not perfect, so girls could relate! I wish the movie was coming out sooner! I also hope that she writes more books!

I absolutly loved this book. As a 14 year old i still read it over and over again. i was so excited when i found out that they were making a movie. I think that the directors picked the perfect actresses and actors for the movie. I think that Anne Hathaway will do the best that anyone can do. I recommend it to everyone!

THIS BOOK IS AWESOME! ANYONE THAT SAYS OTHERWISE HAS AN ADDITUTE PROBLEM! THIS IS MY FAVORITE BOOK, EVER! I HAVE READ IT OVER 4 TIMES! It may seem weird, but I love this kind of book. Gail Carson Levine is a great author and I can't wait to read her other books. This book deserves a 5 out of 5 rating.
