I've been on a Gail Carson Levine marathon for the past two weeks... Re-reading all of it. I started with Ella Enchanted(I've read it so many time I think it's about to fall out of the binding). Usually when I see the movie, then read the book, I like the movie a lot better. Not with Ella Enchanted. The book has so many more details than the movie, and Ella is a much more likable person in the book. In the movie, everything is like modern day, without technology. Next I read The Two Princesses of Bammare. I love this story the most out of all of Gail Carson Levine's books. When the Gray Death comes in and takes hold of Princess Addie's sister, she sets out to find the cure. She battles ogres and dragons, specters and cowards. The plot line is fast and witty, and you get to understand the characters and their personalities. The only thing I didn't like, was how Addie is always fighting a battle within herself. I guess it wasn't much of a marathon, if I only read two books, but, in my defense, I thought I had read more.
