Reddit mentions of Jumper: A Novel

Check out the books that they are "based" on by Steven Gould. I say based on but beyond having the ability to teleport everything is different. I believe there are 5 stories in total but I haven't finished the last one.

Wow. Dorset is near the front page? My parents live nearby Dorset in Nevis, MN and I've been there over 100 times I'd say? In fact I've been in the mayoral race myself... I just didn't get enough votes apparently. The festival that the election occurs during is called the Taste of Dorset but you have to understand, for a tiny town that you can drive through before you take a breath - this festival is INSANE! People from all over come to Dorset and basically flood the streets... found a picture online.

It's a great tourist attraction and one of the many things I love about Northern Minnesota. Also, the town is only open in the summer, pretty much everything closes shortly after Labor Day.

Edit: Personal note, in the mid 90s I bought a copy of Jumper at Sister Wolf Books and read it that afternoon sitting by the lake - amazing memory.

Jumper

Jumper. It's pretty different from the movie, especially with his mom.

Jumper and its sequel Reflex were quite good. The movie sucked balls and I haven't read any of the books written after they became movies, but those two were good at least.

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality is kind of like what you're describing; a (completed) fanfic where Harry has the special power of rational thinking, as well as the standard magic from the canon books.

Also, +1 for being someone else who has heard of Replay.

Jumper is pretty much this exact book.

The movie added a lot of unnecessary "world building" to the story. The core is just "dude can teleport" and what he does (or doesn't) do with that power.

One of my favorite books is about the ability to teleport. Jumper is so much better than the movie they made of it. You might enjoy it.

Lulz, "lift the couch to hoover under it."

"RAAAAAHR, HULK SMA-- er, no, wait. Hulk tidy up a bit."

I haven't read it, but EY recommended the novel Jumper in a recent post.

Yeah it's more coming of age CIA story much satisfying.
