The Enchanting-ness of Ella

If you've ever endured in a mystical fantasy novel that captures your attention, along with your heart, then you know exactly how I feel about Ella Enchanted. It's not only an amazingly written spin-off to the famous story Cinderella, but a dreamy love-story where you get to witness the main character, Ella's, thoughts on everything that takes place.

The book's got this kind of modern approach to a well-loved fantasy land and every little detail is like being right there, present in the time and place!


Ella is my new favouritest heroine, and Prince Char? Every girl's dream prince... The story of love between the two was the best thing about the book, at least that's what I'm always drawn to. They send letters back and forth to each other at a stage of the book and it's almost hard not to miss their cute connection. After reading some lovey stuff, my dad actually asked why I was smiling the way I was when I walked by him. Yes, it gets you into that fluttery feeling!



If you're like the millions of other girls out there, and have seen the movie Ella Enchanted, know now that it does not compare to the book (as always). The book captures a whole different story and the movie recreated the story completely different! (I know, I know. You're thinking that every movie is always different from the book, but this one's story-line was totally changed!) I love both takes on it, but the book has my heart.

Ella Enchanted is like the story Cinderella to the modern age.

"And so, with laughter and love, we lived happily ever after."   The perfect end to a perfect little tale. (It's an inside joke by the way. Read the novel and you're bound to find out why.)
