Family road trip - picked this one up for the kids last month and they begged us to listen to it as a family. We did and it was both fun and funny. Jack Black was absolutely the ideal narrator for this book. There's humor in it for both adults and kids (mostly kids, of course). I imagine it'd be odd and weird for anyone unfamiliar with the Minecraft game but why would anyone pick this up if they weren't a fan of Minecraft on some level? It's written for a specific audience and my family is that audience. Solid fan-fic.
