Childhood Book

For our assignment we had to discuss our favorite book as a child. I knew mine right away and was excited to write about it. Ella Enchanted was my favorite book as a child because it allowed me to imagine. There were kingdoms, trolls, fairies and magic. I was able to create scenery in my head of a mystical, special place. I was a very imaginative child, and loved to take the story and think about it more and imagine more than what was written on the page. It was a happy place for me to go to as I jumped into the story and forgot about reality for a little while. I felt like the characters were my friends, and that their well being was linked to mine. They seemed like special people, and I wanted a happy ending for them. As a little girl I also loved reading about stories of love and happiness, and this story was a sweet story of a girl who falls in love. I would get giddy and excited when she would get love notes from the prince and was so relieved when good things would happen in their relationship.

 I loved this book so much! Sadly, they BUTCHERED the movie and it was hardly like the book at all. The movie was AWFUL! Do NOT watch it if you are a fan of the book. SO disappointing.
