It's rumored that he killed his father, but no one is sure. Then there are the pesky princes who want to ruin everything for the sake of power. Now add in a beautiful princess and a handsome hero. You have the makings of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
Packed with action and mystery, this book is sure to grab every reader within the first few pages. James Ponti writes in a quick pace that never lets up. The descriptions are rich with detail, making me feel like I was wandering the Persian deserts alongside Dastan. On each page there are characters that I wanted to see succeed and others I wanted to see falter.
My favorite part of the story was Dastan's determination to be his own person and to clear his name. The notion that a man good in heart and soul will gain the respect of his peers is a great lesson for children to learn, as well.
The plot twists and turns captivated me. I never knew what would happen next. There's a nice mix of magic and mysticism, giving the story a dreamlike feel. I loved the pluck Dastan displayed in order to fulfill his destiny. He's a good hero and role model to follow.
If you want an action packed story for a lazy afternoon that lends itself to a second and third reading, then you need to grab a copy of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. I give this story 4.5 suns.

My 10 year old son really liked this book. He told me the entire story and described all the characters one day while we where driving in the car. He explained in such detail that I could see how much he enjoyed the story. Now he wants to see the movie.

Prince of Persia is a wonderful book for young readers. It's great for ages 8 and up. It's thrilling, adventurous, and full of mystery. This book was not intended to be comical but is action packed and well written. Prince of Persia is lots of fun and I would definitely recommend it to a friend!
