My daughter absolutely loves the series. She is a big Minecraft fan and these aren't too hard for her to read. Even though she is a bit too old for the kids books - but her dyslexia makes books for her age too demanding. We finished all the paperbacks in this series that we had on our shelf so I have to buy a kindle unlimited membership for the next ones.....YES!!! :)

This is the best book ever

I love this series!!! Cyrus. The fact I can get it together for a few weeks of a sudden it was the best of the year and the other hand is the only thing that would have a great way for a few weeks of a sudden it was the best of the year and the other hand is a good time waster but the other day I have no idea what I was a great way for a while and the best thing about it is not the same thing over and over the next few weeks of a new phone case you want a relationship is the only thing that would have a great day and night with the same thing over and over the next

A book my son chose from the library, that we read together. He really enjoyed it, with its numerous Minecraft references; I thought it was inane.

The plot barely functions, and character development is non-existent which is an achievement in itself over 100 pages.

But my 5 year old really enjoyed it. So I guess that’s it’s target market. Unlikely to join the canon of children’s classics though.

I liked this book because I thought it was very funny. Steve suggested that Zack should pretend that he liked camp a lot so that if he did something bad his parents would take it away from him (Zack actually hated camp). The funny thing was that when Zack tried to fail a test every time he got an A+! FIVE STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zack Zombie is close to summer vacation and his parents were letting him do anything but he thought that they wouldn't let him so he wrote about camp because he did not want them telling the teacher because it was close to parent conferences. Then his parents made him go to camp because he wrote about camp a lot. He had to go to camp so he was trying to be mean so he would get in trouble but everything he did wrong was good.

I enjoyed this book because I liked the part when Zack tried to fail all the tests so that he could not go to camp but he got an A+ on all the tests. Good thing Creepy's going! I also enjoyed this book because I liked the part when Zack thought camp was dangerous.

Great book for all ages

I am 11 and I still love books like this it's nice and short and at the same time perfectly long. I would reccommend this book and all the other books in the series for kids wanting a book to read in 1 hour.

I read this book just a few weeks ago and that fact that I have zero memory of the plot makes me feel that it is forgettable. I imagine it will be appealing for some elementary school students (at least that is my hope) but as an adult it didn't leave a lasting impression.

Nutbag book series continues something to do with minecraft and zombies whichI know nothing of, how they link? Who knows! Anyway full of gross out gags and an ongoing plot (sort of) anyway its entertaining enough in its ridiculous way.

I really loved the book because it gave a lot of details of how the game actually worked in life. The book is also very funny.

Way shorter than the rest, but honestly the writing style has been cleaner, so that's good.

Another mediocre story. My son told me it was very silly. He did ask why Zombie didn’t speak honestly to his parents, which is a positive to come out of it.

i bought this book in a book fair when i was in 5th grade, read through it in a day, it's a pretty awesome book for anyone who likes light hearted, funny, children books. my review might be biased cause i have a lot of nostalgic memories attached to this book but imo it's a pretty good book.

Awesome book

This book is really funny. I laughed more then I have laughed in a very, very long time. Also I really like Minecraft, and when writing this book series you must have had Minecraft things in mind. Also, I like the story just by itself. I hope you keep writing this series

My thoughts

This book is weird and I wonder why Steve is a human that does not kill Zack the zombie. Creeper screaming art the top of the Ferris wheel was sad, but I'm glad that Zach helped him.
