The Book Jumper by Mechthild Gläser Review

Hey guys,

Today I will be reviewing The Book Jumper by Mechthild Gläser.

This is the ultimate book for booklovers. We, who love books, have all wished that we could enter into the world of books to escape our own. But the closest we can ever get to that is reading them. That dream becomes reality in this book.

The relationships between the characters in this book were excellent. One relationship that I really enjoyed reading about was the one between Alexis and Amy, it reminded me of Lorelai and Rory from Gilmore Girls. The plot kept interesting and picked up even more near the end of the book. I read this book on vacation and while on vacation I went to this shop and was buying a T-shirt. Well, the girl at the counter saw that I was carrying this book and said, "I loved that book, I read it just last week." We got to talking about it and she said "yeah the last one-hundred pages were spectacular". I just thought I'd give the girl in the T-shirt shop a shoutout because she was absolutely right. The last one-hundred pages were spectacular. Every booklover in the world needs to read this book. It was really easy for me to read and I got through nearly the entire book in one sitting.

We, as readers, essentially took a pledge. To love the worlds we read about as if they are our own. To protect that world. To let that world take us in during hard times. Gläser has created a fantastical world where our dreams could become reality, and it isn't difficult to keep up our pledge. Gläser knew what our dream was, and put it into the form that we know best. A book.

This book reminded me of a mix of two other books. Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer which I raved about, reading it in less than a day, and a book series that I read when I was 8 years old. The books were called Elsewhere and they were about a girl who could go into the paintings in her house. It was dark and mysterious and I loved it.

Read this book, and delve into an adventure in its finest form with Amy and Will and Werther and Alexis and Glenn and characters from all of the classic stories we know all too well. Read this book and fall in love with reading even more than already.
