Ten years passes between the first novel "Jumper" and "Reflex." It is possible to read this book before the first, but many details will not make as much sense. Davy, the teleporter, is married for example. And, he works for a few government agencies who pay him well for contracted jobs. However, it is people from the various agencies and more secretive groups who give the novel conflicts, interesting ones. Several themes are important in this book. Clearly with Davy being married, love plays aI absolutely loved the idea of this book. The character can 'jump" teletransport himself anywhere! I happened to be reading the book while sitting in an airport and I decided it would be a wonderful skill to have!Of course people are him... and his wife because they either want him to jump someplace for them... or to keep him jumping someplace. A very good and imaginative story
Wow! This one was so much better than the first. It didn't have the same long meandering feeling and I was hooked from the start. A few parts did get a bit rambley, but it was still really good. One thing from the previous book was in this book though - crying. So.much.crying. You'd think that in 10 years the main guy would learn how to not cry at the drop of a hat. And it isn't the fact that it was a man crying, I just can't stand people in books crying because of their situation, mostly when
I first watched the movie and liked it, so I was interested in reading the book, because the books are always better than the movies, right..? But I was disappointed.The first book : Jumper, was enjoyable. I liked it because there wasnt an enemy that wants to kill David, it was like a book about a normal kid (except the fact that he can teleport) living is life. That made the book more realistic and representative of a real life. But for the same reason, I wasnt thrilled to continue reading.
There's something about this series that's really sunk it's teeth into me. I already have the third book, Impulse, queued up on the iPod. There's something about this simple concept of being able to teleport that's absolutely captivating.And I had misgivings going into this one. How could it top the first one? What else can you do with teleportation, right? Turns out, plenty.I don't know if these are really spoilers for the first book, but I'll go ahead and warn. There are a few I guess.We know
A sequel to the book (and movie) Jumper, Reflex throws us back into the lives of Davey (who can 'jump' to anywhere in the world he can see or has visited before, just by thinking about it) and his wife Millie, in the present day.Davey is working for the NSA on the quiet in sensitive cases like kidnapping and extraction, and his wife is a counsellor. Very quickly, their lives are upended when Davey - who has no limits on where he can go in an instant - is kidnapped, and can't escape.This is a
I vaguely remember reading Jumper a few years back because my recollection of the entirety of the book is a little befuddled by its screen adaptation, which was only loosely based on its original material but a great movie just the same. What I do clearly remember is the novel's major theme: revenge; its protagonist David Rice: how he seemed to be a flawed yet likable character; and its plot development: how it thrilled, amazed, and kept me up for nights. I had no idea why I tookwhat, three
