If you would like to be a character in a video game, this is the book for you. Pretweens who like Roblox or world building games like Minecraft will enjoy this.

Engaging storyline, boring characters. Read this with my son; he liked the monster but didn’t seem too into the rest of the book.

I got this book for Christmas and nothing has been the same since I read it... It has engaging characters, teamwork, everlasting friendship, and an enemy worth one hundred nightmares. Literature professors and geniuses around the world will spend lifetimes analyzing this work. Ari Avatar does it again – an absolute classic.

So, I got this book, and a couple others in this series, because I recently had begun playing Roblox on my new computer from my grandfather. I'm addicted to some of the games on it, I'll admit (that's part of the reason I took 6 days to read this. I began the book 6 days ago, not going any further than opening it, and finally started reading today. Took like an hour to get through). I'll definitely say it was a fun read. There was nice artwork in the book, and the story was pretty interesting, and I like that Zeke, Ari and Jez had saved Trip and beat the monster as a team (friends working together to save the day is a type of story I just can't hate lol). I also found a good number of the jokes in the story to be pretty funny too.

I will say I really hate Trip because he took all the credit for everything the three did that SAVED HIS LIFE FROM A MONSTER! It's like, if it weren't for these three, you'd likely be DEAD or something! Didn't ruin my enjoyment of the book, though I will say I thought it was gonna end with him thanking them and them all going home. Nope!

However, the end itself definitely intrigued me. Admittedly, I forgot about the portal thing in the early parts of the book. And in the end, the monster, and everything in the warehouse disappeared, supposedly into a portal. Also kind of makes me worried the monster might come back.

I wouldn't say this book is without its problems. The excessive emphasis isn't something I'm a fan of personally, but I'm sure some people like that. Also, the thing Trip does upset me. And Zeke was told saying what happened wasn't a nice prank to play on the military (I feel like if this happened in real life, those kids would probably be locked up or something, so that's kind of upsetting to think that could've happened). I liked this story enough to give it five stars though. I recommend it, mostly if you're a kid looking for a quick book to read, or are a Roblox fan. I'm not a kid, but I do like a good story. Especially if I just recently started playing games on Roblox myself

It's okay

I enjoyed the book but it was a little straight forward for me,
but other than that it was okay.

[Dayna Kendall · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not a bad story. Decently written with minimal grammatical issues. Read it with my son at bedtime for two nights. He wants to read the rest in the series.

[Bub Toro · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked the obi master guy but the story was boring.

[Miranda Langton · Rating 5 out of 5]

My two boys (6 and 3) loved reading the book all together over a few nights. Not too scary and numerous roblox references/jargon which kept the 6yr old engaged!

3.5 ⭐️
My brother made me read this and it wasn’t as horrible as i thought it’d be! Not bad at all, actually.

[MATTHEW JACOB · Rating 1 out of 5]

This is just showing how much humanity has devolved. First of all, they call eachother 'blockheads' which doesn't even make sense considering they ALL have heads that are shaped like blocks. Second of all, they use big names just to get more money, like obviously Diary of a Wimpy Kid. They also have the Naruto run, adopt me pets, etc. Third of all, they have GENERIC characters whos' names make no sense at all. Like who names their kid ARI out of all things. Also they named the bully TRIP. And his mom is THE MAYOR. Ari also named his bootleg ahh Adopt Me dog CODA. The only normal name in this entire book series is fricking Zeke. And that's not even that much of a common name. And last, they use 'butt' as a word in the series. One sentence in the book series is literally 'She just saved my blocky butt.' I'm not even joking. This book is garbage and no parent should ever give this to their child. Not even a kid that likes Roblox. Even David Baszucki, a guy who has made VERY horrible decisions in his life would probably think this book is trash. That's how bad this book is.

This was a fun book I read with my son. It was the first chapter book he ever read. He read it to me and I would read it to him. We took turns reading it to each other until it was finished. It wasn’t my thing but my son enjoyed it so I let him do the rating. I enjoyed the memories more than anything. Hopefully we will find that book that ignites a passion for reading for him. But it is a good fun book that is relatively easy to read.

[Hidden LAG · Rating 3 out of 5]

My honest opinion (SPOILERS).

Not the best Roblox diary book and the "scary scenes" are not even scary, and the way the characters talk or the things they say are not that relative to the character like Ari and Trip Dont show to be their prototypes.

I liked this book, but I am pretty young, so I think that the monster part was kind of scary.

[Vanessa Adelle · Rating 3 out of 5]

My son wanted to have a book club me and this was his choice as our second read. He loved it and has since bought or been gifted 6 more books in this series.

Favourite childhood classic.

[Geckos Class · Rating 5 out of 5]

No comment. Just one of my favourites. Highly recommend!

[Alyce Caswell · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not a bad start to the series, though the lack of closure (the monster just disappears) is a bit frustrating, especially for a middle grade book.
