I was able to get my hands on a copy of this book to review and even though I don't play the game or even understand it, my son is a die hard fan, so I basically had him tell me how he feels about the book. He basically said he loves it! He said it has some really good tips, even for an experienced player, and he can see how it would be even more helpful to a newbie (his word, lol). He says he definitely recommends it.

4/5 stars.

My students and my children both loved this book. There were so many tricks and tips that the did not know and had never heard of. It was attractive and explained well. It will sell very well I would imagine. It's very practical and although people shoot one another in it, the children want to play these games and I feel as long as they do so under adult supervision with adults knowing the exact content of them, then a decision can be made as to whether they're suitable of not. This was a winner in my house!!

'The Fortnite Guide to Staying Alive: Tips and Tricks for Every Kind of Player' by Damien Kuhn is a strategy guide for the popular video game. I don't play the game, but I know the basic concepts in this fight to survive game.

The book gives an overview of the game, then jumps right in to the strategy. There are tips for what to do while waiting for the bus, the best place to land for a fast landing and to get the player near loot crates. The various weapons and their rarities and uses are covered. Building materials and strategies for finding shelter. Even how to capture the elusive and rare llama is talked about.

I really want to see a new updated version of this book!

The strategy guide from Daniel Kuhn, while well written and user friendly, needs updating. The game has updated so many times that though the basic strategy is sound, there are new twists, weapons, and deleted weapons, etc. I still get killed early in most battles, I thought this might help. It did help in the areas that are relevant, so I commend Mr Kuhn. I hope an update is planned.
I received my copy through NetGalley under no obligation.

This was a book I got because I have at least one Fortnite enthusiast in the house! And his reactions at when I do anything to stop him in the middle of a game are exactly like one of any of those videos Jimmy Kimmel posted some time ago when he requested parents send in such videos :)
But jokes apart, this book is a cool guide for those Fortnite enthusiasts and helps them up their game; and while my son was looking at news more recently of people actually hiring coaches to become better Fortnite players, he commented on how this book was a way more practical way to coach yourself!! and more reasonably priced too (well, for us, it was a review copy received from NetGalley - thank you! - in exchange for a review, but still!)..
So, yes - if you want to stay alive in the world of all that is Fortnite, do yourself a favor, get this book and level up..

The only problem with a book like this is that the game is continually evolving and new seasons are added. The gear covered here isn't all still available, and the game maps have likely changed. Still the core strategy would still apply as well as the kinds of things to look for in offensive and defensive strategy. It's an easy read for younger players and has lots of in-game photos.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I got this book because my husband plays Fortnite. This gave me a better understanding of the game and I play games as well, but I did not play Fortnite. I got this to understand why he plays it. Some of the tips he found useful and it made reading it worth it.

The Fortnite Guide to Staying Alive: Tips and Tricks for Every Kind of Player is a book that was very helpful to me. My son and husband started playing over the summer, and I have not been of much help to them when they got stuck or fustrated- or had a question. The information is laid out in a logical and accessible format, which made it easy to find specific topics or information as I needed it. I think the general information gives new players a good information base with which to start and to find their own preferences and playing style. However, some of the information and formatting is off. In particular they list the game as being available for Android, which it is not yet. I know because I am waiting to be able to download it for my Chromebook. I have not been playing myself so I am unsure if any of the other information is inaccurate. There were a few spots where the header for an image was on the page before the actual image and related information- which could have easily been fixed. The images and the descriptions themselves seemed to be well done.

The Fortnite Guide to Staying Alive: Tips and Tricks for Every Kind of Player was a useful, but not perfect resource. I think it is a solid introduction for those that are just getting started, or that have jump in but need more information to succeed.

Let me preface this: I don't play Fortnite but am very familiar with the game because all 3 of my kids, my nieces and nephews and all their friends play this game. And after reading this guide, I'm pretty sure I'd do pretty well if I decided to play it with all of them. I love the concept of the game, the gameplay and the graphics in Fortnite, and this guide is very well-written. The author explains the game thoroughly so you'll understand whether you're an expert or a new player, and discusses tons of strategies for surviving throughout the game. I especially appreciate that he gave tips for how to succeed even if you don't want to buy the season pass. Definitely recommend this for any Fortnite fans! #TheFortniteGuideToStayingAlive #NetGalley

I have to admit I had not played Fortnite until I received this book. I had watched it being played so was familiar with the game and some of the strategy. After reading through this book, I have not only survived, I have quickly passed my playing peers. The tips, tricks and guides were very easy to understand, even for a challenged player such as myself. I've really been enjoying my game time and I have to admit this book made it a whole lot better. Whether a beginner or more advanced player, you'll improve your strategies with this book.

Very informative and funny! As a lover of Fortnite, this book was a fast fun read and will probably help a lot of players.

I'm pretty late boarding the fortnite craze bus.
However I found this book really informative and helpful, I read it with my 13 year old son who has been playing for a while now and there was some useful bits that he didn't know about. As with alot of games now, it moves so fast onto new things or with fortnight it's seasons . It's unfortunate that some of the weapens listed have already been retired in the new season.
All in all its a great intro to get you going ans a good platform to build your skills on.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is a great introduction to Fortnite, the game that's taking the world by storm! Kids ages 10 to young adult and beyond are obsessing about this free game that offers season passes and upgrades for purchase.

With solid graphic representation and simple text, new players can get up to speed quickly and efficiently as they learn about basic game mechanics and learn more intricate skills to get the most fun and have the best chance at succeeding in the game, whatever your goals may be.

Many parents are concerned that their kids are spending too much time enmeshed in this world. For adults, this book is a good way for parents to learn what their kids are doing, see what kinds of safety and security measures they can take to keep their kids safe online, and find new ways to connect with their kids by talking about their latest obsession.

I am an adult, but I struggle with staying alive in Fortnite. This has some helpful tips that I will keep on hand and try out! Thanks for the early look!

My son LOVED this book. So many new tips that he didn't know before. A must read for Fortnite enthusiasts!

Great book for Fortnite addicts! My 12 year old son said he wishes he would have had it sooner!

The Fortnite Guide to Staying Alive is a practical and easy to use manual that will improve your skills and help you to take your opponents down swiftly while you are able to stay alive!

Very informative and interesting although we didn’t learn anything we didn’t already know. My son did enjoy looking at the pictures though.
