There are many unofficial Minecraft novels out there that are frankly torture to read. This one is OFFICIAL though and was actually creative and enjoyable. It was written by Max Brooks of World War Z fame. I recommend this book to families with Minecraft fans.

This was a good book for what it was. I am much older than the target demographic but this was a fun book to listen to (Jack Black narrates the audio book). It is nothing ground breaking or life changing but it is fun especially if you are familiar with the game. The way the game mechanics are shown is really interesting some times. Overall a fluffy fun, turn your brain off and just enjoy it read.

I never thought a Minecraft novel would be quotable, but here we are. It was really entertaining.

Actually only feel equipped to deal with my finals because I listened to this book. Do with that information what you will, and take your rest days seriously.

This was a fun book to listen to with my family while traveling. Jack Black did a fantastic job with the narration. And although I don't play Minecraft myself, it was still entertaining.
