For older teens, definitely

I bought this on the recommendation of a young bookstore clerk... who assured me that my twelve-year-old grandson would love it... and he did. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on one's perspective), I didn't read it before I gave it to him, as I do most of the books I buy him. Some of the material is quite adult, and when he called to tell me how much he was enjoying reading it, and he described some of the situations, I was frankly dismayed. All in all, I suppose, it turned out well. Had I read it first, I might not have given it to him, and he did really love the book.

Wonderful page turner! Great Adventure Story.

I hid in the bathroom from my children to finish reading this book! It is a great adventure of a young man roaring around the planet (teleportation)and playing cat and mouse with good/bad guys.

I have never read Gould, but am purchasing all of his books today. This guy is like Alan Dean Foster at the height of his craft. It was a genuine pleasure to discover someone that is great at storytelling.

Worth Jumping Into

Steven Gould delivers a fast-paced mind-spinning book here. Jumper starts off with the main character's first jumps, and takes off from there. The never-slow pacing takes us from Ohio, to NYC, to Florida, and then around the world as the protagonist seeks revenge upon those who've hurt his family and made his life difficult. The teleportation aspects are well-thought out, and to his credit the author never explains how the teleportation happens, we just have to accept that it does.

A well-written and compelling book. Highly recommended.
