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. Jumper, based on Steven Gould's earlier novel of the same name, will be a major motion picture scheduled for release by 20th Century Fox starring Hayden Christensen, Jamie Bell and Samuel L. Jackson, and directed by Doug Limon. Jumper: Griffin's Story features the character played by Jamie Bell in the film.

A different jumper story

If you liked the previous books, you'll like this one as well. Same compelling story, but with different characters. The story is much darker than the prior novels. But seeing how Griffin triumphs over the "Jumper Hunters" is very interesting.

Reminiscent of Orson Scott Card

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's not a novelization of the movie (those usually stink). Instead he tells the story of Griffin who is a character in the movie. After seeing the movie and reading Jumper and Reflex, I was very curious to find out what Griffin's background was and I was left very satisfied.

Incidentally, I enjoyed the movie but found the ending lacking.

This wasn't as good as the original but well worth the read.

The original was a better read.I've read "Jumper" at least five times and never seem to get tired of it. "Griffin's Story" seems more like an afterthought. A means of making even more from the movie.
