The sudden discovery of his teleportation ability rescues teenager David Rice from his abusive father. It also signals the beginning of a new life for the troubled young man. Gould's first novel features a hero who is not particularly wise and whose ethics are sometimes questionable, but whose yearnings and psychological turmoil ring true. A dollop of suspense and a dash of romance make this fast-paced sf adventure a good purchase for large libraries.

Review of 'Jumper' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I've had this book in my shelf for a while, but I kept putting off reading it because, while I was mildly interested, I wasn't sure I would like it. It seemed like a bit of a childish fantasy book and, to some extent, it is. The story is nothing to write home about, but the storytelling is way better than I expected and halfway through I found myself really captivated by the events. I enjoyed this book and I'm glad I finally got to read it.
