Title: Disenchanted with Ella
Review: Ella Enchanted, by Gail Carson Levine, is a novel based on the Cinderella story, that depicts the life of a young girl, Ella. When Ella was born, she was placed under the spell of obedience, by a fairy, Lucinda. Ella soon falls in love with a charming prince and has to break the spell to save their love. Will Ella be able to break the spell, or will she have to leave her true love? I gave this book one star. Although it started off very strong it lost its power very quickly. Bouncing back and forth between proper english and hip phrases did not have a magical effect on this reviewer. I began to wish for my own fairy to save me from the tedious task of finishing this disjointed book. I didn't think that this book was a refreshing new twist on Cinderella, but rather, it made me long for the pages of Charles Perrault. I would not recommend it to others.
