It must be mentioned before I start that the book is way, way better than the movie. Plus, the cover of the book looks quite dated are horrible, even childish, however this is not a childish book. And I would thoroughly recommend it.
If you could sum up Jumper in three words, what would they be?
Intriguing, dark, adventurous
Who was your favourite character and why?
Davey- he’s the main character, the entire book is based around him. plus….err…. he kind of has the ability to teleport. How cool is that?
Which scene was your favourite?
Davey teleporting NSA agents to different parts of the world because essentially the gov. wants to control him, and the stated hypocrisy of the United States government.
It’s nice to hear about someone having the power to make an agency responsible for its actions & responsible for its hypocrisy , even if that character is fictional.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No extreme reactions like that. Just the overall thought of… wow the movie got censored a lot. And I think mainly by the US government. I would guess they didn’t want one of their own agencies coming across that badly.
I now wonder how much involvement the US government has in publication & editing of movies.
Any additional comments?
I originally though to myself, hey I’ve seen the movie, I can move forward from book 2 onwards. However this book is just so much better than the movie. (As is often the case actually) The movie has the concept, yet they’ve changed so many things making it available ‘for a general audience’
The book has some much darker sections in it, made for young adults that are not sheltered from society. It’s definitely not the impression that the gov. wants to have you believe.
The book is full of emotion, intrigue and adventure, the concept is great, and sets a good premise for the other books in the series.
