Great Sequel, 3rd coming?

This is a great sequel to Jumper which you should read first but dont have to because they catch you up with all you need. This is about Davy and how Millie (the wife) and the NSA try to Save him but with twists and turns.

I found a 3rd book Griffins Storys (Jumper) as a 3rd book but about someone totally different whose parents apparently arent Millies and Davys. I bet it'll be great like the others but wish Davy and Millie were back and taught him...

About what you'd expect

A decent followup to Jumper, though set farther in the characters' future than I'd expected. Where I think Jumper was aimed at a young adult audience, this deals with decidedly adult characters and emotions that are mature and by no means angsty. I think it's interesting to see the changes that have happened, but it also feels, at times, as though there's a lot of history that the reader somehow missed out on.
The writing is also not quite as strong and feels hurried at times. The dialog and internal thoughts especially fall prey to this. The action scenes are well done, however, and I have to admit, I was turning pages pretty quickly towards the end. The best part of the book, however, was re-watching someone learn about "jumping", discovering that again through their eyes. It made me realize how that had made the first book so much fun.
In all, Reflex could have benefited from some editing, but it's not so lengthy that it's unenjoyable. If you liked Jumper, you will enjoy parts of Reflex a great deal as well. And we may even see a third book; the edning leaves that possibility very open.

Great Sequel, 3rd coming?

Reflex was good, maybe even better than jumper the first book. I hope there is a third book in the series where he uses and tries new talents. I wasnt sure what the end would be like with a sort of "twist" near the end. GREAT read. I plan to read wildside also by Steven Gould.
