Minecraft: The Island by Max Brooks
1.0
Wow, what a book!
This was the most astonishingly fu**ed-up book I've ever read. This is not even a novel, it's just a manual for Minecraft players who've never played with that game. If you follow this book, you'll learn how to play the game, but god for a novel? This was plain bad. The info-dumping was amateurish, the character was just lame, the world... while it works in the game, it DOES NOT in a book.
I really can't fathom why they couldn't write a story for Minecraft like the Telltale game. That was a good one, you got to know the world, how it worked, and still had a good story.
This one? This is nothing like that, and it breaks my heart. I wanted to like this so bad, I loved World War Z, but this? Shame on you, Max Brooks, I wouldn't even call this writing.
