Summary: Olny book that I never wanted to put down
Review: This guy could have been a superhero or even a spy. Always had to see what happened next. Very unique ending, he picks up his girl and they "jump" teleport to Hawaii. I loved it. Best book I've read in a long time.

Summary: This book rocks!
Review: I read it in one sitting and thoroughly enjoyed it. I cared about what happened to most of the characters, and I added it to my list of most fovorite books. It honestly deals with a character feeling his way around, and taking us along for the ride.

Summary: Ihave read and re-read this book through-out the years.
Review: I found this book to be very humerous and tense while still maintaining a believable plot. It is very interesting how the reactions displayed by the charaters are very life-like and the text scans very smoothly. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a book that empowers the reader . This book leaves you feeling superior to other people in this world.

Rating:
Summary: At last a rival to Heinlein
Review: Dramatic and fast flowing, keeps one on edge of seat - A rival to the human interest yet science fiction themes in Robert A Heinleins writings. The characters are real life and the settings placed in are superb and give an added dimension rarely found in science fiction. Shall look forward to more works of this type by Steven Gould --a sequel to this story would be immensely well received. Well done!

Summary: Simple but excellent sf-thriller for both adults and teens.
Review: Gould takes a very simple premise and runs with it. What if you discovered one day that you had the power of teleportation? Simply by concentrating for a moment, the book's teenage protagonist can move himself to any place that he's ever seen or visited before... including bank vaults, the White House, and all sorts of other interesting locations. The book is very well written and the story that unfolds logically from the first premise is compelling. Our hero flees an abusive father to enjoy a life of stolen luxury, but is steadily and inevitably drawn into confrontation with terrorists and the U.S. government. The last fifty pages or so flipped by as quickly as anything from Dean Koontz or Stephen King. The only reason I give it a 9 instead of a 10 is that the teenage protagonist seemed just a wee bit too together. Despite a few stumbles he deals with his power much better than most of us would. But it's a minor quibble to what is overall an excellent first novel. Highly recommended
