Written in the 1990s by American author Steven Gould, Jumper is the inspiration for the film of the same name -- to be released in Feb 08 and starring Samuel L Jackson. It tells the story of Davy Rice, played by Hayden Christensen, as he escapes his tortured childhood to explore the world via teleportation and find his long lost mother.

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.
