Editorial Reviews

About the Author

This is the full edition. Book One was formerly published by Thomas Nelson Publishers. The Oneprince is a challenging fantasy, with excellent description and characterization, and an impressively devious story line. There are swords and sorcery, but also some serious ethical thinking. This is not shallow adventure. -- Piers Anthony, Author of the Xanth series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Adventure!, June 21, 2000

By 

Steven Macon (Radford, Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Oneprince (Hardcover)

This is a gem of a story that a friend of mine recommend to me some years ago. Through the presistance of that friend I was also able to read the sequel before it was published and to learn a little bit about the making of the story and the man responsible for its life. This is a fine tale of a young boy who doesn't want to be king, a talking rat and a villian with designs on more than a little kingdom... So the adventure begins... Bill Hand has crafted a story in the fine tradition of Tolkien and CS Lewis... It will cause the reader to laugh, cry, and sometimes leave one breathless as young Quad and Friend Rat venture out in search for the OnePrince, who is the only hope for the kingdom... Look beyond the tale to the Truth behind the legend. Remember Bill Hand, I'm sure the future holds many more tales for Quad and Friend Rat.

This review is from: The Oneprince (Paperback)

Bill Hand combines romance, comedy, fantasy, and action in this book. I would not be afraid to let my fourteen-year-old brother read this. Some of the names are a little hard to pronounce, but that doesn't detract from the storyline. The only problem I have ever had with this book is that I don't want to put it down without finishing it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!, December 14, 1999

This review is from: The Oneprince (Hardcover)

Oneprince dealt with many serious biblical parallels. But its hilarious dialogue complemented the depth in the story. This is the kind of novel that should be turned into a movie.
