Synopsis

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.

The first official Minecraft novel! In the tradition of iconic adventures like Robinson Crusoe and Treasure Island, the #1 New York Times bestselling 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.

In The Island, a plucky guy from our world wakes up and finds himself in the strange Minecraft world of blocky Moos, scary Spiders, angry Zombies, and dangerous Blasties.

I don't think I was the right person for this book. I mean I have put in TONS of hours playing, but I'm not super obsessed with all things Minecraft. You either need to know a bare minimum of facts about Minecraft or be obsessed to really enjoy this book.......more

Goodreads review by Kevin on September 04, 2018

I actually enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. Disclaimer** I do not play Minecraft. I never saw the point. That said, reading this book feels like what I imagine playing the game would be like. I'm almost actually tempted to try it. I enjoyed the writing style (in spite of it being in first......more
