Awesome
This book is awesome. This book will kinda help u handiling about bullies. Things I like about this book is that the wimpy zombie stood up for the mutant zombie to his big brother which was smaller than him and bullying the mutant zombie. The things I dislike is that the magma cube guy kept threatening the wimpy zombie about telling them about him bullying the wimpy zombie. Obviously, this book has more stuff and this book is marvelous.

Unlike the last version, this one was actually a good message-driven story. Getting bullied is common among kids. And it's difficult for them to cop up or fight back. The story beautifully delivers the message and that too in a comical way.

This is another quick read. I read this to my 5 year old son in about an hour. Once again he was laughing out loud. This book also has a really great message about bullies. When I first picked up this series I thought it was fun fluff reading. I was wrong. This book has a great message for kids about what makes a bully and thoughts on how to deal with one. I was really impressed! We have a stack in our living room of all of these books that I borrowed from the library and my son always walks over and grabs one and brings it to me. Maybe this author will have a giveaway?? I would love to own these so we can reread them. On to book 3!

Easy to read book for any minecraft nerd. I myself havent actually played minecraft, I know! what a shame i am to the swedish population xD But i do know of the game, I have seen many of my favorite streamers and youtubers play it aswell as talked to my friends who are big minecraft nerds. I myself dont see the appeal in a game thats built based because i dont have any imagination or creativity.
Anyway. The book is fine even if you dont know much of minecraft but it does help. This book in the series touch on the topic of bullying and i think its made very clever. Most bullying books are very dry and forced, this is made through a game which many teens and kids love. So it keeps them intrested.

Diary of a Minecraft zombie book 2
Read on Kindle unlimited.
This was a good one, with a good message in it as well - bullying. My 7 year old was questioning why people bully etc so it was a good talking point on bullies and what to do.
Again written in a diary style it makes for easy reading, the kids love this series and they are on Kindle unlimited as well so will keep us going for the next 12 nights!

April 6, 2016I thought this was a very sad book, The reason is that I see Mutant as a good person, and he is being treated like a jerk. :( We should end bulling and we should help stand up for friends of ours, and do something about it. I made a lot more friends for being cool and helping each other out, I helped out Joaquin and Roman. We all need to stop bulling and we need ways to fix this.

Fun and positive book.
I choose this rating because it is not perfect but really fun and interesting. A really good book for Minecraft lovers. In one part of the book, something positive happens and I really likes it.

I didn't like this book because Steve forgot to tell the villagers that a zombie, a skeleton, a slime, and a creeper were coming over for dinner. They even launched their dogs and cats on them.

In the book diary of Minecraft zombie, A regular zombie is in junior high. He had to face the biggest bullies in the school. First he is bullied and bullied by the zombie. Then he figures out that it is his mother or his sister who is getting mad at him. He steppes up for him and him and he and the zombie became friends.
The zombie changed in one way. First he thought that the zombie was the biggest bullies in school. Then he figured out that it was not him it was his mothers fault or his sisters fault so he stepped up for him and became his friend.
I think this book is great for all people for all ages. Because it shows a lession and it is not to bully other people. And this second lession is for moms only not to be mean to your child.

Minecraft reference, middle school reference, gross thing happens and repeat again and again. Why was this written.
After scores of unrealistic bully advice from parents, teachers, friends and class videos, the book creates an equally lame and unrealistic solution.
There were no surprises, twists or intellectual content. It's a giant Minecraft themed cliché. I read it to kids who only responded to things mildly. "I saw a mutant zombie once." "Herobrine! I've heard of those." Etc. Indeed, me, you and anyone else who plays Minecraft.
My mind was blown with how terrible this book was.

Bullies and Buddies is the second junior novel in the Diary of a Minecraft Zombie series. At a disastrous party at Steve's place, Jack Zombie and his friends Skelee, Creepy and Slimey are attacked by the villagers. Steve is sorry for his friends' injuries so he lends Zack a special video game all about plants and zombies.
This second story has more narrative, the characters have developed and there is a message included.
The Diary of a Minecraft Zombie series is suited to an emergent reader, a Minecraft fan who enjoys stories written about the familiar gaming characters.

My 7 & 4 yr old loved this book and we will be reading the next one in line. I know nothing about Minecraft but my oldest explained everything as we went along. It was fun and humorous and even had a vague adult joke that my oldest thought was great for a different reason. lol (it was when the main character asked his mom where baby zombies came from. The answer given was that they were created on by the Minecraft corporation for the game or some such.) He thought it was so funny that the mom knew they were in a game.

Based on the popular Minecraft game, this is the second books in Steve’s series. Once again, Alex continues his journey over a six-week period. The diary has illustrations from the game sprinkled throughout the book. This time he helps the villages, starts raising chickens and has to face a potential enemies. Written at a fifth grade level, there are some fragmented sentences and misuse of commas.

It's a clever book written in the form of zombie's diary. The zombie is a friend of Steve's and not the villain the game makes him appear to be. The book has a nice message about how to deal with bullies.

8 year old daughter cannot put these down...I don't care! She's finally enjoying reading independently!
My 8 year old daughter doesn't particularly like school or reading, but she LOVES Minecraft. She is now reading these at a rate of 1-2 books per day!

Another great book. This prompted several conversations about bullies and what we should do if we see bullying, or if we are being bullied. Even with the serious conversations we had, there were still lots of laugh out loud moments. Looking forward to #3.
