It was a great book. The end was pretty sad, but it was also really nice. For those who like Minecraft, you'd love this book.

I would have never guessed that, after all these years, I would have such a yearning for playing Minecraft. I should have known that Max Brooks was going to deliver!

Great, fun book! You don't have to have played Minecraft to enjoy it. Good tips for the real world, too. :)

Super quick read (it is a kid’s book after all). Honestly, I think this described the initial phases of playing Minecraft perfectly. Every beginner mistake is in the story.
If you play Minecraft or have a kiddo who plays, take a few days and give this a read.

The story itself is great
But I can't get over how amazing the audiobook is! It's one of the most well produced audiobooks I've listened to; there's music, sound effects, and two different versions available! One has Jack Black and the other has Samira Wiley. I personally prefer Wiley's performance, but both are excellent!
