Summary
A thrilling paperback novelization that will take readers inside the story of the upcoming Walt Disney Studios' live action Cruella film。
Estella is a clever and creative grifter determined to make a name for herself with her designs amid the 1970s London punk rock revolution。 As a girl， Estella befriended a pair of young thieves with an appetite for mischief， and together the trio has been able to build a life for themselves on the London streets。 But Estella longs for more than an existence built on stealing to make ends meet。
One day， Estella's flair for fashion catches the eye of the Baroness Von Hellman， a design legend who is devastatingly chic and terrifyingly haute。 But their relationship sets in motion a course of events and revelations that will cause Estella to embrace her wicked side and become the raucous， fashionable， and revenge-bent Cruella。

this story is so dear to me， but i definitely think it was better portrayed in the movie than in the book format， specially because of its writing， which i think it's way too simple and childish， and the narrative has no flow whatsoever。 I felt like i was reading all these scenes separately， with no connection between them whatsoever。but the movie adaptation is *chefs kiss* and without a doubt one of the best things i've ever seen <3 this story is so dear to me， but i definitely think it was better portrayed in the movie than in the book format， specially because of its writing， which i think it's way too simple and childish， and the narrative has no flow whatsoever。 I felt like i was reading all these scenes separately， with no connection between them whatsoever。but the movie adaptation is *chefs kiss* and without a doubt one of the best things i've ever seen <3 。。。more

Nothing to write home about， but in the end I do think I liked it better than the movie。 Things are explained more， espeically when we get into Estella's head， though her transformation does still seem very fast。 Some small things don't line up exactly with the movie。 Nothing to write home about， but in the end I do think I liked it better than the movie。 Things are explained more， espeically when we get into Estella's head， though her transformation does still seem very fast。 Some small things don't line up exactly with the movie。 。。。more

Cruella De Vil has always been my favorite Disney villain despite the fact that I love animals and she， well， has no qualms about killing them for fur。 When I saw this book at my local Meijer I quickly snatched it up and couldn't resist starting it ASAP。 I loved the Glenn Close portrayal of Cruella in the love action film of my childhood， but I also knew that my love for Emma Stone would make this my favorite portrayal of the iconic character。 The plot was engaging and fast moving。 I was very an Cruella De Vil has always been my favorite Disney villain despite the fact that I love animals and she， well， has no qualms about killing them for fur。 When I saw this book at my local Meijer I quickly snatched it up and couldn't resist starting it ASAP。 I loved the Glenn Close portrayal of Cruella in the love action film of my childhood， but I also knew that my love for Emma Stone would make this my favorite portrayal of the iconic character。 The plot was engaging and fast moving。 I was very anxious to see where the story would go next， and the surprise reveal toward the end left me with my jaw on the floor。 The writing itself was simplistic and not overly indepth， but that's to be expected in these types of novelizations。 If you're expecting award winning writing you're going to be wholly disappointed。 I loved the inclusion of familiar beloved characters like Horace and Jasper， as well as the surprise appearances of Anita Darling。 Having Anita and Estella know each other from school was an interesting touch that leaves me confused as to whether this is supposed to tie in to the 101 Dalmatians characters we know and love or if this is indeed a soft reboot。 As far as origin stories go， it's a good one and it does a good job of redeeming the character of Cruella。Based on this book， the movie is going to be great and I can't wait to see it。 。。。more

Thank you Scholastic for sending me a copy of Cruella to reviewFashion。 Revenge。 Dogs。 Disney bringing a classic animation to life。 It’s a great book to accompany the movie。 Brilliant take on Cruellas origin story。

Much like Disney has done with Maleficient， making a sympathetic origin story for a classic villain can be a challenge。 Being a novelization of a film， this book reads almost like a screenplay， including scenes that were obviously written to be more visual than narrative。 As with all of these types of books， you're likely better off with the movie in this case。 Despite Rudnick turning this story into something readable， the story does drag on and wraps up a little bit too neatly。 Much like Disney has done with Maleficient， making a sympathetic origin story for a classic villain can be a challenge。 Being a novelization of a film， this book reads almost like a screenplay， including scenes that were obviously written to be more visual than narrative。 As with all of these types of books， you're likely better off with the movie in this case。 Despite Rudnick turning this story into something readable， the story does drag on and wraps up a little bit too neatly。 。。。more

I'm TRYING to read this book， but its seriously a chore。 I hope this isn't a reflection on the film。 Book is about 300 pages， usually can knock this out in a day or two but I'm struggling to stay interested and its been going a couple of weeks。It seems like the film will probably be more visual and spectacle and the author wasn't sure how to translate that to the book。 The novel is VERY bland and choppy， sequences don't seem to naturally flow into one another and characters are very stiff and wo I'm TRYING to read this book， but its seriously a chore。 I hope this isn't a reflection on the film。 Book is about 300 pages， usually can knock this out in a day or two but I'm struggling to stay interested and its been going a couple of weeks。It seems like the film will probably be more visual and spectacle and the author wasn't sure how to translate that to the book。 The novel is VERY bland and choppy， sequences don't seem to naturally flow into one another and characters are very stiff and wooden。 Sometimes motivations make no sense which I will explain next with a spoiler tag。（SPOILERS）Cruella sees her mother murdered in front of her by 3 Dalmatians owned by the Baroness at the beginning。 She see's this happen on orders of the Baroness。 As an adult， she hates Dalmatians because of this reason， but she idolizes the Baroness？ It makes no sense and its frustrating to read。 MAYBE the movie has it more clear she doesn't see the Baroness and just sees the Dalmatians， but its not quite as clear in the novel。 It makes you think she saw the full event。 Its stuff like this that makes me put the book down and step away without much care for reading any more。 I'm hoping the film is better， but once that comes out I'll probably set this book on the shelf and forget about it。 Worst case scenario I'll donate the thing to goodwill， maybe someone else will get more enjoyment out of it than I have。 。。。more

I really loved this Disney novel。 Such a wicked twist on the Cruella DeVille back story。 Great imaginative plot which leaves the reader almost feeling sorry for our young anti-heroine。 I said almost， because the dastardly black hearted Cruella is still just that， as she weaves her powerful machinations for power and wealth。 Recommended。

I love this new take on one of Disney's most evil villain's ever！ The book has made so excited to see the show from Disney plus！ I give it four stars simply for the originality of Cruella's backstory and how the characters meet together。 BIG SPOILER WARNING！！！！！！！！！！！The ending is opened ended as for the reader to each draw their own conclusion as to the rest of the characters。 I believed that the book would meet with the animated film but it seems to curve off from that note。 The ending is more I love this new take on one of Disney's most evil villain's ever！ The book has made so excited to see the show from Disney plus！ I give it four stars simply for the originality of Cruella's backstory and how the characters meet together。 BIG SPOILER WARNING！！！！！！！！！！！The ending is opened ended as for the reader to each draw their own conclusion as to the rest of the characters。 I believed that the book would meet with the animated film but it seems to curve off from that note。 The ending is more on Cruella getting her way and then everyone just leaving on a cliff hanger。 Pun not intended。 。。。more
