Title: A lot of fun
Review: This is one of the best fairy tale retellings I've come across. It's intelligent, witty, and fun, but it has enough depth not to be forgotten. I think Ella herself is possibly the best part of this book. She has such a strong personality and voice, and her sense of humor makes her especially likeable from the very beginning, as though she has a perpetual smile quivering on her lips and an eyebrow always good-naturedly raised at the fantastical world around her. She also has the ability to feel deep emotions like love, in which she can be self-sacrificing but always remains human (with a bit of a feisty edge).The only part I thought could be a little longer, or a little more fleshed out, was the ending. A few things after the ball happened a bit too fast for my taste. I considered giving the book only four stars because of this, but I reconsidered. Ella Enchanted is wonderfully enjoyable, and such an overall good book doesn't deserve to lose any stars.
