Love this book!
(Ella Enchanted is one of those where I love the book while I also loved the movie while it is different...)


message 14: by Brandi (new)

Brandi (librandian) | 206 comments I haven't seen the movie yet, but now that I've read the book, I totally want to. I loved how she created a different language for each creature. If only I could figure out how to actually pronounce everything. :)

I loved the book too- such a unique fairy tale.
When you see the movie, you'll love Anne Hathaway as Ella, but just know that they do change a lot. Go in not comparing it to the book and you'll enjoy :)
