    <body><![CDATA[A bit hard to follow. It may have been easier if I knew about the video game stuff, but my mom doesn't aproove of video games and their ilk. On the whole it was entertaining and historically nice. The art was beautiful, but a bit gory. Skip this if you're queasy.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is not the story of one, but three different princes. The plot will probably make a little more sense once you figure that out. It was amusing enough, but the real pleasure is in the art, which is lush and vibrant.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[well as a graphic novel... I guess it was good... a bit hard to follow, but not terrible. The more interesting part is to read the material after the story. As a software developer, I really enjoyed that part much more than the novel itself.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book has no plot and the illustrations do nothing to fill in the blanks. It has nice glossy color pages, but that doesn't mean it's worth your time. It's based on a video game. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Prince of Persia is based on a popular video game of the same name. Being more than a bit of a Luddite, I'm not familiar with the game, which may be why I wasn't wild about the book.<br/>It has lush, full color illustrations and is more comic-booky than most of the graphic novels I really love, but ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/32176875">more...</a>]]></body>
