MY REVIEW:

I decided to read this because I had watched the film. At first I loved the film but then I read the book and realised the film was terrible compared to the book. From the moment I read this first page I was completely hooked it took me two days (4 hours if I read non-stop) This was very enjoyable however there are slightly tricky words that I stumbled on a bit as this book is written in a old English style.

Ella is a great role model as she is caring and kind but also feisty and outgoing.

I would definitely recommend this for fans of the hobbit, Harry Potter and fairy tales.

This was a re-mix of the well known fairy tale Cinderella, it features a glass slipper, fairy godmother and pumpkin carriage as well as two wonderfully described step sisters ( Hattie and Olive) This is the sort of book you wish never ends and it is way too short.

This is definitely one to watch out for and an incoming

A series of unfortunate events (A bad beginning-Book 1) By Lemony Snicket

"If you are interested in stories with happy endings, you would be better of reading some other book. In this book there is no happy beginning, there is no happy ending and very few happy things happen in middle." Rating:10+ Pages: 176 authors websites: https//www.danielhandler.com Dear Reader, I'm sorry to say that the book you are holding in your hands is extremely unpleasant. It tells an unhappy tale about three very unlucky children. Even though they are charming and clever, the Baudelaire siblings lead lives filled with misery and woe. From the very first page of this book when the children are at the beach and receive terrible news, continuing on through the entire story, disaster lurks at their heels. One might say they are magnets for misfortune. In this short book alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, and cold porridge for breakfast. It is my sad dut
