"A frustrating read, punctuated by too many plot twists where you have to suspend your disbelief. The story jumps around and regularly loses what small momentum it had built up as the reader is flung forward years or thousands of miles, or both.
The Smoke Jumper is at least 100 pages too long, cluttered by pointless insights which seem to be lifted from a teenager's diary, and the denouement is signposted in flashing neon lights throughout the book - although how Evans reaches that point was too outlandish to be engaging.
There's a good book in here somewhere, but Evans took a promising scenario and got lost in a fog of his own creation."
"Yaaah... buku ini membuat saya berpikir2, adakah Nicholas Evans ini nama samaran seorang perempuan?
Ini bukunya yang oertama saya baca, tapi kok ya rasanya seperti membaca Danielle Steele. Sooo cewek... Semua dicampur, banyak tokohnya, banyak ceritanya, tapi kecuali ketiga tokoh utama, yang lain benar2 hanya lewat2 saja.
Ada remaja minggat, pria jatuh hati, pria patah hati, gadis penakluk, penjahat2 perang segala... Hal yang paling menarik buat saya adalah tantangan dari profesi smoke jumpet, para pedamam kebakaran hutan. Seru sih, dan benar2 berisiko. Sayang bukan pilihan utama jalan cerita.
Yah, pokoknya akhir buku ini sih seperti biasa, jagoan menang dan hidup bahagia bersama selamanya..."
"There were some parts that were so good and then there would be huge sections that I would end up skipping pages. There were 3 sections to the book that were almost almost 3 different books entirely."
"I didn't want to put it down, the men I know who have read it said they didn't like it. I loved the realism of the war it made me want to know more. The love story was a little predictable."
