read it in one go - loved it to bits!, 4 Dec 2005
Ella enchanted was absolutley BRILLIANT! i was engrossed from the very first page, and i read the book in one go it was so good.
Ella was given the gift of obedience by the stupid fairy, Lucinda (who's gifts also include being turned into a squirrel), when she was a baby. She must obey everything anyone tells her, from giving away her mother's valuable necklace to breaking up with her best friend. It is physically impossible for her to disobey!
Soon, her evil stepsister Hattie realises that she can make Ella do whatever she tells her to, and Ella ends up as a scullery maid. She is even forced to leave her beloved Prince Char! Looks like Ella needs some help from her fairy godmother...
Will Ella and Prince Char be together again? Will Ella ever be free of her curse? I stayed up all night reading, i was so desperate to find out!
I would recommend Ella Enchanted to anyone who wants a really good read, but particularly girls aged 12-15. It is the best book i've read all year, and you won't be wasting a single penny by buying this book!

ella enchanted, 12 Aug 2004
this book is lovely, i just wish there were more of the same type of books.
ella is a spunky, determined heroine who has had a curse put on her since birth that says she has to be obedient. while she is trying 2 find out ways to set her free, her life is getting even worse.
this book had everything in it, wit, romance, comedy, adventure and a great plot. ella is a great heroine, one you can really relate to and ella enchanted is loosely based on the story of cinderella
one of the best books i have read - it is an unmissable one of a kind

This book is so brilliant ! I want to marry char!!, 22 Nov 2002
By A Customer
I found this book absolutely brilliant and first read it when i was 14 years old. I still love reading it now at the age of 15. It has been passed down to my two younger sisters who also absolitely adored it and couldnt put it down. This book is full of tension,romance, and grief all expressed as a mixture of emotions which add to the real character of the book. The fairy like genre and the small intakes from other fairytales adds to the book being so exciting to read. I myself honestly have read it numinous amounts of times and still feel it as refreshing as when i first read it. I loved the character 'Prince Charmont' and just fell in love with him (literally). Wouldn't he just be great boyf material. Didn't you just want to be Ella? Anyway the storyline of ella having a curse was a great ide of the author. But please couldnt she just write a sequel to the story? It would be ever so much appreciated and we could follow the love and marriage of ella and char. I think i will always have a copy of this book as long as i live and will read it to my children when i am older as it would be great for them to experience this book as i have. So, finally thankyou gail for giving us this wonderful story to read, But couldnt you just write a sequel? Pleeaaasssee!!
