Quotes
Add a Quote"The meaning, mama is that Ella does whatever she is told.I don't know why, but she does." " Really?" Hattie nodded. " You mean she would have listened to me too?" Olive said. " Clap your hands three times Ella." Mum Olga commanded. I clutched my skirt and stiffened my hands at my side. " It will take a moment." Hattie said. "She tries not to. See how red her face is?" I clapped.
Dear Ella, Impatience is not usually my weakness. But your letters torment me. They are playful, interesting, thoughtful, and (occasionally) serious. I'm overjoyed to receive them, yet they bring misery. What I really long to know you do not tell: what you feel, although I've given you hints by the score of my regard. You like me. You wouldn't waste time or paper on a being you didn't like. But I think I've loved you since we met at your mother's funeral. I want to be with you forever and beyond, but you write that you are too young to marry or too old or too short or too hungry. You would charm Father, and Mother too. They would be yours completely. What a beautiful bride you'll be, whomever you marry at whatever age. Today I cannot write of Ayortha or my doings or anything. I can only post this and wait. Love (it is such a relief to pen the word!), love, love-- Char

This book is amazing!! Ella almost seemed like a real girl, with feelings and everything, i have now reserved Gail carson Levine's other books Ever and Fairest, i hope they are just as good!!
This book was awesome! It was a breathtaking,adventurous book. It was romantic and dangerous,sad and happy.I would reccomend this book for ages 10 and up.Have fun reading.
I think the movie is the best movie I ever watched. Next to harry potter of course.........
The film adaption is FAR inferior to this riotous and adventurous novel. Seriously, I could not even bring myself to watch the movie after reading this book. All girls should read this funny, touching classic... whereas I'm not sure anyone should watch the picture.
I love this book. It is so exciting and I can tell I will never get bored of reading it.
I love fairy tale retellings, so this is a fantastic book for me. I've read it countless times and every time I love it a little more... I think I like Ella more than I like Cinderella! She's a much better heroine and not at all a sissy. I love the plot, the twists, the characters and the ending... Such a great book!
My favorite fantasy novel of all time. The movie does not do justice to this book and is loosely based on it anyways. What a great twist on the classic tale of Cinderella.
Best book ever!!!!!!!!!! It begins with an interesting twist by Ella receiving a gift aka curse that makes her obey everyone. The end is with a Cinderella-story touch but also makes it different as Levine gives it her best thought.
I like this a lot!!!!!!
