A review by jjbookaday
Minecraft: The Island by Max Brooks
5.0
I found this book at a little free library!
Going into this, I was conflicted. On one hand, “it’s Max Brooks! The author of World War Z! This will be great, and since I’m a fan of Minecraft, doubley so” ! On the other “this would probably be childish and be way below me in terms of reading and comprehension level”. what I got was one of the best books I’ve read so far in terms of video game novels, it was both completely faithful to the games and kept the lore going, as well as give tons of pop culture references which I didn’t expect. One of the easiest ways I can describe this to an outsider; imagine the Martian’s (Andy Weir) style of day by day documenting things, within a video game world where everything is cube and you’re the only one in this world. I truly loved this and I can’t wait to read the other by Max Brooks he’s also written. 5 out of 5 stars.
