Minecraft: The Island by Max Brooks

4.0

Minecraft: The Island by Max Brooks perfectly captures the experience of being a total beginner in the Minecraft world.
Some spoilers ahead:

I could completely relate to the main character’s struggles, as they reminded me of my own first time playing—full of confusion and survival challenges. The MC’s bond with the animals is especially touching, adding a heartwarming layer to the adventure. I also loved the small, inspirational quotes sprinkled throughout the book. They really made me pause and reflect. What kept me hooked was the constant anticipation, wondering how the MC would discover and master the next part of the world. An their last big master plan? I LOVED it!
It’s a fun, immersive read for both Minecraft fans and anyone who loves a good survival story!

And never forget the Way of the Cube: Plan, Prepare, Prioritize, Practice, Patience and Persevere.
