The Smoke Jumper
Author: Nicholas Evans
The fire that was to change so many lives so utterly started with a single shaft of lightning.

My Amazon review - This book took my breath away - literally. I found myself on the edge of my seat and holding my breath so many times while reading this wonderful book that I would have to set it aside, calm down, and return to it later. I can't remember the last book that made me care so much about the characters, to the point that the tension became almost unbearable. If you like Evans' first two novels I think you will like this one, too, but be prepared for a much edgier story and more nail-biting action. If you have never read Evans before, this is one of his best so it's a great place to start.

This book was SO wonderful. I laughed, I cried, and my heart ached for these characters. I've read it three times, and the only reason I am getting rid of it is bc there is no more room on the bookshelves!

This was a really terrific book. The subject matter was new to me, and quite eyeopening.

As one other reviewer said---"It took my breath away"---This is such a moving novel, so beautiful, you experience, suspense, trauma, grief, wonder, and find yourself praying that on the next page things will be ok. The smoke Jumper is a book you really want everyone you know to experience.

This is an amazing, yet haunting book. It takes a turn that's not really expected. You become engrossed in the lives of the characters in this book and feel their pain. It makes you feel grateful for what you have in your life. A book I would definitely recommend.
