I don’t know why I didn’t know that the movie Jumper was based on a book. I enjoyed the movie, so reading the book was an obvious choice. I only wish that the books, Jumper and Reflex, were what we got on the silver screen. The two books tell a great story and, while there are a few places or moments that are reflected in the book, the plot is very, very different. The premise remains, a boy is able to teleport, and it follows his story of learning to cope with his ability. The sequel, Reflex, is not portrayed in the film at all, and takes the story to a very different place. The book had me going, and I finished very quickly. While looking for the image of the book I found another book in the series (which appears to be detached to David’s or Davey’s story, but I’m getting it right now none the less) called Jumper: Griffith’s Story. I would hope that it maintained the caliber of book that the previous two in the series were. Definitely a good pair of readings.
