A very original take on Cinderella's story in a futuristic world with advanced technology.
Cinder is a very strong character and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to her story that includes unexpected twists and turns and quite a likable male lead.
The cliffhanger ending makes me want to start Scarlet right away and see how things play out for Cinder and Kai. ...more

Wow... that was good. I don't think I have read a book of this length this fast since the last Hunger Games book.
I already ordered the next two, but they will not be here until tomorrow.. what am I supposed to do until then?! I must find out what happens now! ...more

Cinder was a sci-fiction/steampunky/cyborg re-telling of the Cinderella story. I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the sequel.
The beginning feels very true to the original tale expcet for the fact that Cinder is a cyborg. Her mother and father are dead, her adopted family (except her sister Pearl) hate her, she has little to no personal rights, and she is blamed for everything. As her sisters are getting ready to attend the ball to hopefully catch the eye of the Prince, Cinder is regul ...more

I haven't read any adaptations that I can remember at the moment, but even if I did, this would be the best one. All I can say is-Wow.
Every element of the classic story was there and even though I could see what was going to happen, it was delivered so well that I didn't care. Some would say that the ending was a cliffhanger. Being that the series is continuing, I feel more like it was 'chapter' to the story and didn't feel like a cliffhanger (which you know I hate with the heat of 1000 suns).

If you couldn’t tell from the summary, Cinder is a loose retelling of the Cinderella story. Cinder is a cyborg who was adopted as a child by her father, who soon after died and left her in the care of her nasty stepmother. As a mechanic, she is responsible for the mechanical upkeep of her stepmother’s household machines. In her spare time, she dreams of escaping to a life of freedom on her own.

Very interesting read. Didn't know what to expect but I've seen this on everyone's lists as a not to be missed read. I didn't like the ending. I guess that part of Cinder's story ended but I want to know what happens next!
