So please get this book, I promise you that will be satisfied with it. I use the word sick in the most amazing, spectacular, awesome, sick way possible. Whether or not you are into climbing or romance novels, this book is just sick. The only thing that I did not like about this book is that it ended. Many times I have read amazing books and get to the last pages and it just ruin my whole experience. When I finally got a chance to read it, it only took me a couple hours. (When I first started reading this I did not realize that the author climbed.) From the climbing to the emotions you have for your first love, it was perfect. Not only did this book have a great story line, but also it has so much truth. So when I was first handed this book by one of my campers, I was very much skeptical about it authenticity on the world of climbing. I love climbing it is one of my biggest passions.
Not because it was terrible, but because it was so good I lent it to my sister to read, who lent it to another co worker, who lent it to another co worker, and so on. This book took me four tries before I actually sat down and read it. JUMP is rife with action, romance, and humor - the trifecta! I'm not sure how this novel slipped under my radar for so long, but I'm infinitely glad I stumbled upon it!
I loved that! There are a few heart pounding passages where I honestly had no clue what was going to happen next! Generally, I have no problem figuring how how a story will end, but Carbone kept me on my toes. I especially enjoyed Critter and P.K.'s budding romance, as the reader gets to experience it through both characters. Usually, when a novel is told by two or more characters, I favor one voice over the other(s), but this wasn't the case with JUMP.
After all, running away to perform a dangerous activity with a boy (named Critter!) that you've only known for a half hour (at the most) is most definitely insane.
I may have questioned P.K.'s sanity a bit more if I didn't have the opportunity to see Critter's POV. and the mysterious boy she runs away with, Critter. JUMP is told from alternating point-of-view by P.K. I'm actually thankful that she did include the jargon, even though she could have told the story without, because it made the characters much more real. I have absolutely no experience with rock climbing or rock climbing lingo, but Carbone writes with ample detail and I had no difficulty deciphering and filling in the blanks. I'll admit that I was a bit worried about the climbing jargon when I first started reading. After reading, I have absolutely no idea why no one is discussing this novel. I had never heard of it and had nothing more to recommend it than the description on the back and the interesting cover.
