The town is from anywhere, USA, except for one difference - People are disappearing. The teenagers are the only ones who seem to notice. Against orders, a few of them are on a mission to rescue their friend. What they discover is a mind altering world ruled by the minders- armed and ready to kill.
Nice use of action and suspense. This is a good read for those who like science fiction or thrillers. Also good with teens. I would read more works from this writer.
From the first page, I was totally hooked. The characters in this book became real people for me and I really cared about what happened to them. Great story!
It was a fascinating take on a coming of age. While Nona at first seems to be nothing more than a troubled teen things take a drastic turn. Her life changes in minutes. When given a chance to escape her life she Jumps at it. But her new life isn't what she thought it'd be. She has to fix things and in order to do that she must return to the life she left behind. There are plenty of twists and turns in this unpredictable tale. The ending left enough room for a sequel and it could easily become a fascinating series. This book has intrigue galore. Given the complexity of the world in Jump the second read may even be better than the first.
This is a really good effort for a first book. I think now a sequel should be written regarding Willie and their search for him, and also getting a change made to the jump site. Perhaps making it into a way to replace prisons.
