Minecraft: The Island (Narrated by Jack Black)

An Official Minecraft Novel

De: Max Brooks

Narrado por: Jack Black

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.©2017 Max Brooks (P)2017 Random House Audio

Jack Black slays narration

Jack Black makes this story a treat for kids and adults alike. My 6 and 4 year olds love Minecraft and they can’t get enough of this story. They have listened to it at least 10 times all the way through and continue to ask for it. My husband and I both enjoyed listening to it as well. If your kid likes Minecraft- you can’t go wrong with this story!

This book was way better than I thought it was going to be, super suspenseful and action packed.

Great book

I love this book mainly because it’s about Minecraft and unlike some other books it actually stuck to the real mechanics. I definitely recommend this to anyone thinking about buying it especially if you like Minecraft and/or Jack Black.

Good story and Great life lessons

As a parent, this is one of the few Minecraft stories I didn't mind listening to and even really enjoyed. It helps to develop a good perspective in life- and instead of focusing on successes, it focuses on how to overcome failures, which ultimately is a really Great life lesson for anyone and everyone.
