My sister brought this book home from the library one day from my summer reading list a couple of years back and told me to give it a try. I wasn't into books at that time and started reading it with a notion thinking I wouldn't like it. Boy was I wrong! When I started it I couldn't stop reading it. In fact I kept on renewing the book untill I read the book at least ten times. Then, afraid I would wear out the library's copy, I wanted to order my own copy in hardcover so I could read it another twenty times. Finally my sister came home with another book for me to read. I was so into 'Elle Enchanted' I didn't want to leave it behind to start a new book. But I tryed Patrica C. Wrede's 'Dealing with Dragons, Searching for Dragons, Calling on Dragons, Talking to Dragons- Enchanrted forest chronicles' anyhow. I loved these ones also! So if your stuck on what books to read after this one I highly reccomend these ones! Anyways, back to the subject. All I want to say is this is a wonderfully done novel. Gail Carson Levine adds a new and exciting twist to the Cinderella story. If you are a YA reader don't be discouraged by the 9-12 age level. I know tons of teens and adults who read and liked this book. If you treasured this book check out Gail Carson Levine's 'The Princess Tales Series' and her latest book 'The Two Princesses of Bammare'. This is a must read for any fantasy books fan!
