I rated it a 5 out of 5 on the little Facebook book app I use :) The movie was cool in that it had a lot of great action scenes (most of which were spoiled in the trailer!), but I liked the book's treatment of Davy much better. He was a deep, well-rounded character and his anger issues gave him a realistic edge. One reason why I kept reading is because I was so caught up in the character and I wanted to see if he would overcome the darker aspects of his nature.<BR/><BR/>Chris didn't want to read the novel, since he has a long reading list right now, so I told him about it, and he thought the original story would have probably made a better movie. I do have to agree, it could have been like The Bourne Identity with a sci-fi twist, more espionage and less poorly-defined ages-old conflict.<BR/><BR/>(and so far you're doing pretty good on book recommendations for me ;) see, I told you I liked things with faeries!)AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398414928556655066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28693503.post-23920333683044917732008-08-12T15:09:00.000-07:002008-08-12T15:09:00.000-07:00What a fabulous necklace!

It looks like something someone would wear to a Hollywood award show!<BR/><BR/>I guess you liked <I>Jumper</I> some, if you read it all at once like that! True, it's not cool, it doesn't have special events or wars, but it's one of my favorite books.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
