HTML: *An original novel from Steven Gould, creator of the Jumper series, that tells the back story of Griffin O'Connor, a character created for the film of Jumper.* What if you could jump? Go anywhere in the world in the blink of an eye? What would you do? Where would you go? What if you were only five years old? Griffin has a secret. It's a secret that he's sworn to his parents to keep, and never tell. Griffin is a Jumper: a person who can teleport to any place he has ever been. The first time was when he was five, and his parents crossed an ocean to protect the secret. The most important time was when he was nine. That was the day that the men came to his house and murdered his parents. Griffin knows that the men were looking for him, and he must never let them find him. Griffin grows up with only two goals: to survive, and to kill the people who want him dead. And a Jumper bent on revenge is not going to let anything stand in his way.

I wasn't impressed with this. It is a jumper story but it repeats the same thing over and over without really giving resolution. This is not a continuation of the previous Jumper stories - it is apart and indicates there are other jumpers and an agency that hunts them for reasons unknown. I think this would have been a more solid story if there had been some resolution or reveal of the antagonists and something for the main character, as it is the reader (and main character) are just left with a lot of why and questions after a serious amount of grief and carnage. Did I mention this begins when the main character is none? I'm surprised he survived at all. (

The Author's Note at the end of this book tells the reader belatedly that Griffin's world is different from Davy's, to fit better with the movie's script. I liked the movie, I may have to watch it again now.

I read this as either an alternate book-reality, or as the ultimate bad-guy reaction to failure in Reflex. Griffin's ability is sudden and public, and his parents do their best to teach him how to hide it -- but it's not enough. His mistakes are very bad. Hard as he tries, he can't live entirely as he needs to, until he has no choice. It's how most of us would be (if we lived long enough). In many ways, Griffin's the most sympathetic jumper, the most average, mistakes and all.

L'ho trovato noioso, così scontato da farmi sentire palesemente fuori target (e un po' lo sono, ma alcuni Young Adult li ho trovati godibilissimi lo stesso).

Il protagonista non ha nulla di particolarmente interessante che lo distingua dalle migliaia di bambini-super-speciali di saghe analoghe. Ci viene presentato come più resiliente della media, ma compie errori così palesemente stupidi che ti metteresti le mani nei capelli. La prima volta me lo faccio andare bene, perché è giovane e sprovveduto, poi ci ricasca (di solito ha appena finito di dire "non permetterò più che succeda") e qualche dubbio sulla sua intelligenza mi viene.

Qualche perplessità sulla trama, come la società supersegreta che non ho capito quanto voglia restare supersegreta viste le azioni di guerriglia portate avanti in mezzo alle folle, senza particolari eco mediatiche oltretutto. Posso farmelo andar bene in Messico, ma le due volte nella metropolitana di Londra?! Ma a questo punto prendere un cecchino a caso e far sparare al marmocchio in testa prima dei 9 anni no?. (

I read (listened to) this book a few years ago, after seeing the Jumper movie. At the time, it was the only one of the series that was available from Audible. Again, not appropriate for kids (although it was in the Audible children's section). This is actually a little more similar to the movie than the book that's actually called "Jumper." (

Every couple of months Dad and I would climb in the car and he'd drive out through the suburbs, out past the small towns, past the farms and rances, until we came to what I called the Empty Quarter.
