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.

Let's be honest... Who's here because of that one Tumblr post?
This is the first (and probably only) Minecraft novelization I've read. The idea of a Minecraft novel never occurred to me before this, and frankly doesn't sound all that interesting (even having been a Minecraft nut as a kid). But the thought of an isekai-like story was intriguing.
It's middle grade, so it's a light one-day read. It might be confusing if you know nothing about Minecraft, like an inside joke that doesn't make sense. Even so, it's entertaining. You'd think a story about a person trying to survive on a deserted island would be boring, but MC's relationship with Moo (Wilson 2.0?) is adorable. Somehow the plot twists are surprising (mostly). Or maybe I underestimated the book and wasn't paying enough attention...
Either way, the book captures the essence of playing Minecraft. I recommend it if you like/d the game. Reading it won't change your life, but at least you'll have fun!
