I really enjoy reading this book. It is magical and silly and also touching. It's definitely a unique take on Cinderella. (There are a couple of movie spoilers in this next paragraph.

This is lovely.several times we have read these fairy-tales but such a descriptive view from ella's POV is amazing.So well written, simple, capturing and too good to resist. Especially, the end, it was too sweet.

Discovered this book many years ago. I only read it the first time because the back cover says that if you liked Harry Potter you will like Ella Enchanted. So I thought why not?So the story is nothing like Harry Potter beside the fact that it has magic in it. Ella is an easy read and even easier to ...
