I had the exact same reaction when I saw that. I agree completely--I HATE any book with the movie cover, because it's just extending the marketing ploys of the movies which usually have nothing to do with the book anyway, just took the premise and the title and slapped them on a totally different storyline (WHY?? Ella Enchanted, you had so much potential as a movie--CARY ELWES AND ERIC IDLE!!--if you hadn't tried to be the real Ella Enchanted! If you hadn't masqueraded under such a false claim, you would have been an adorable little film! It was one of the worse marketing decisions I've ever seen! Almost as bad as putting a n00b director in charge of such a horrible story as Eragon!! *sobs*).
...er, these things don't bother me anymore than is normal. I promise.
