Review: Good quality (no amazing), would recommend - Great book, it is amazing quality, and very interesting, and overall a great book by max brooks (the author) and in general amazing, great for its price, and is great for anybody, kid or adult, very good review from me, would recommend.
Review: Amazing book, would highly recommend - _Overview_ Alright, so, there have always been slim pickings when it comes to looking for good Minecraft based reads. Most Minecraft books are very short with nearly no plot, there is only a few select authors who's books are worth reading. But I have to say, this book here easily surpassed at least 95% of those authors, even many of the good ones. The plot was great and fluent, and the author was descriptive enough in his writing that it actually felt REAL. The author managed to turn a sandbox game with no plot that is entirely made out of cubes, into a believible story. Furthermore, this book was so good that Mojang, the company behind Minecraft, officially claimed this as a product of Mojang. _Summary_ WARNING, MAJOR SPOILERS The main character, who you never know the name of, wakes up in a vast expanse of water. He narrowly escapes drowning and makes it to an island. There is no other land in sight apart from the relatively small island he is on. As soon as he finds his bearings, be looks around and is absolutely amazed with everything around him, and even himself. He notices weird things that normal Minecraft players wouldn't think twice about, and comments on them, and his comments have greatly impacted the way I see Minecraft. As the day goes on he discovers many things about the world, such as gathering dirt and apples. But even as he thinks he is starting to understand the world, nighttime falls. And with night, comes monsters. He ends up hiding in a hole for his first night until daylight comes and burns the monsters. Throughout his next days he begins to learn many things about the world and experiences many difficulties and near deaths that teach him the rules of the strange world. He learns that he can craft different objects that help him survive, and he learns that his body is powerful in some ways, but also weak in others. For example, he can heal very fast, but only if he has eaten until he is full. Through his first few days, he gets very lonely and starts talking to and personifiying animals. His new animal friends keep him sane and he learns they can be useful, too. After much trial and error for many days, the main character begins to mine for ores and learns new crafting recipies. After discovering weapons and armor, he begins to take a stand against the monsters on and under the island. He manages to keep himself safer with his newfound gear. As the book progresses he finds more ore and discovers more crafting recipes, including finding diamond and gold. Eventually, the character is so prosperous that he builds a very big and spacious home, with even more than he needs. He even installed a hot tub, which is water heated by lava a block under. But that idea was a grave mistake. One day he wakes up and a creeper blows his hot tub up, spilling lava all over his home. The entire thing burns down, the main character narrowly escaping with his life and his animal friends lives. He learns and important lesson from this, to never take more than you need. So he rebuilds a smaller home, with only what he needs. He also lights the island up so that there will not be monsters on the surface. Later, on a mining trip, he finds and abandoned mineshaft, containing many useful items. But as he explores, he finds a monster spawner that makes venomus cave spiders appear nearby. He escapes just barely, but seeks revenge and makes the irrational desion to attack immediately after running away. His attack fails and the main character ends up burrowing in a wall to save himself. He begins to mine more ore and gets enough gear while underground that he makes a series of traps that take out not only the spiders, but all of the monsters underground. And in the end he decodes to leave the island, in search of more land. _Conclusion_ Overall, I would highly recommend buying and reading this amazing book. The whole thing was put together well and flows amazingly. The suspense is perfect and the entire thing was very detailed. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. - Fixated Pixel, otherwise known as Kaeleb.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Both my kid and I love this book.
*by H***G on July 12, 2022*

First off, the kid. He could not put this book down. He read it twice through right away. He read it to me. We got the audiobook (Jack Black did a KILLER job narrating - we also listened to the other narrator Samira Wiley who was also great and it was fun to hear a female voice) and listened to it on a trip. This is one of his favorite books ever. FYI 11yo. We have purchased this for every birthday present for all of his friends. Me. I, perhaps, didn't LOVE it the way my kid did, but i really appreciated the story. Every chapter has a positive lesson/mantra/goal that the narrator (who BTW is never gendered, so you can read it from any point of view you want) starts off with. All of them are positive and wonderful things for anyone to make part of their life. Never Give Up Panic Drowns Thought Don't Assume Anything Details Make All the Difference Etc... These lessons that my kid learned along with the narrator, really seemed to stick in ways I could never impart. His persistence, problem solving, looking at things from different angles and ability to take the positive from a mistake has really improved. I am not saying that this book will make your kid a better kid, but it will take them on a positive adventure and that is really enough.
