Title: Jumper
Author: Steven Gould
Released: 1992
Rating: 3/5
Basic Plot: David Rice discovers he has the ability to teleport.
Different From Movie
This book is very different from the movie version. I have watched an in-depth review of the movie and they are two very different things. For those who hate the movie, don't pass this book up because of it.
Teleporting/Jumping Rules
The fact that there are rules that cause obstacles for David is very good. The greatest one being where he can and can't teleport. This is the cause of David having to do actual work to be able to teleport somewhere.
Enemies Are Outside and Inside David
What I mean by that is that David faces conflicts that are internal and external. David has to face off against terrorists and Brian Cox (NSA). While doing this he has to make sure he doesn't turn into the type of people he's fighting against. This causes some good conflict and makes the character of David a little more life like.
Final Thoughts
I know some of you might be thinking of Nightcrawler when hearing that there is teleportation involved. However, I don't think one character has claims over a certain ability. This is very senseless to assume. The book's story goes along at a decent pace and it isn't boring (though it might be a little slow for some).

Problems with HP7 Part 2 (jashycam 27)
While I enjoyed the movie, I found two main problems with it.
If that version does not work, try this one:

Would you do porn if someone would pay you lots of money for it?
Why would anyone want to see porn of me in the first place?
Q&A: SST 2
I talk about my series Sushi, Sake, and Tanuki: Another Viewpoint.
If that version doesn't work, try this one:
What Pokemon do you identify yourself the most with, and why?
Mewtwo because he is an outsider. Difference between us is that he is more extreme in what he does because of that. I wanted to say I identify most with Articuno but I can find no similarities between us.
Harry Potter opens today. If you were going to cast a magic spell, what spell would you cast?
Transfiguration spell on myself to turn myself into a raven.

How do you feel about the current refusal by Republicans to increase the debt ceiling, therefore risking a credit downgrade by the major rating agencies and a possible shift to another currency as the oil standard?
I don't feel confident in my opinion to formally state my opinion on the matter.
