Publisher's Summary

The first official Minecraft novel! In the tradition of iconic adventures like Robinson Crusoe and Treasure Island, the number one New York Times best-selling author of World War Z tells the story of a hero - stranded in the world of Minecraft - who must unravel the secrets of a mysterious island in order to survive.

Washed up on a beach, the lone castaway looks around the shore. Where am I? Who am I? And why is everything made of blocks? But there isn't much time to soak up the sun. It's getting dark, and there's a strange new world to explore!

The top priority is finding food. The next is not becoming food. Because there are others out there on the island...like the horde of zombies that appear after night falls. Crafting a way out of this mess is a challenge like no other. Who could build a home while running from exploding creepers, armed skeletons, and an unstoppable tide of hot lava? Especially with no help except for a few makeshift tools and sage advice from an unlikely friend: a cow.

In this world, the rules don't always make sense, but courage and creativity go a long way. There are forests to explore, hidden underground tunnels to loot, and undead mobs to defeat. Only then will the secrets of the island be revealed.

Two editions, two narrators, one thrilling story. Enjoy this version read by Jack Black, and then be sure to check out the other available version narrated by Samira Wiley.

Do more Jack Black!

This was my sons first audio book. He loved it. It has sparked an interest.

Jack Blacks performance was amazing.

I listened with him and found it very entertaining.

Seriously.

If you or your little ones like Minecraft this one is a must.

Audible - if you are reading this - get Jack Black to narrate more.

Cheers.

Fun read for a bored Minecraft player

This book brings story to the Minecraft universe. Mind you, this was made many many updates ago so don't expect to see everything in the game. The beginning was a bit dragging, especially if you already know most of the game. But afterwards it tells a great story. And honestly, it made me go back to the game, create a new world, and start from scratch just like The Island.

Not what I expected

I must say when I first heard about this book I had no idea what to expect. As someone who loves the game I wasn't sure what a novel adaptation would entail. When I saw it was written by Max Brooks, and read by Jack Black I really didn't know what to expect. And it was amazing. It was great seeing the world through the eyes of someone who didn't know what was happening, or anything about the world they found themselves in. The exploration and need for the main character to be creative to overcome situations exceeded what I thought was going to a quick summary rather than main points of the book.
