I suspect I would hate the movie

The thing that I most found interesting about this book were the realistic problems that David Rice has, even as a kind of "superman", dealing with modern society as an outsider. The things that the third reviewer panned were the very things that made the story work for me.

I had not seen references to this book before I saw a DVD entitled "Jumper" at the supermarket checkout line today... and the name of the hero was David Rice, but the synopsis seemed to be describing a completely different story, so I decided to check online before buying it.

Given that the movie more or less eliminates much of what made the book interesting, I think it's unlikely that I'd like it. Thanks for the warning, Amazon. :)

JUMPER - A NOVEL

What a great novel. Cannot put it down. I saw the movie, but the book is better. What an imagination. Never boring.

Fantastic

This is the best novel I've read in months. It's a coming of age story more than anything else. If you want a book to go with the movie, you'll want Jumper: Griffin's Story. If you want a book that is worth reading, you'll want this one.
