Summary: The Suicide Jump
Review: "Jumping the Nail" is about a teenager named Dru, her boyfriend Mike and a 90 foot plunge called the "Nail" in Southern California. Dru's troubled friend Elisa wants to prove her love to Scooter, her boyfriend, by jumping with him. Because of all this Dru and Mike try to stop this from going too far or something even worse. I really like the suspense this book gives the reader. You always want to read another page. This book is also fast paced and it was hard to put down. I think anyone would like this book ages 12 on up. This is a book that everyone would enjoy, but especially teenagers. I think the message in this story is that proving the unnecessary can be harmful in many ways.

Summary: Jumping the Nail
Review: Dru and her boy friend, Mike are the main characters in this story and are completely against jumping the Nail that just started after 9 years. Dru's troubled friend, Elisa, and her jerk boy friend, Scooter, were the one's to start the craziness and it continued by Scooter saying,"Who's next to jump." Dru and Mike try to stop everyone but the only thing that could stop them from jumping was the horrible tragedy at the end of the book.

Review: I just wanted to say that this book is a page turner. You know when you wanna put a book down when you tired? You won't wanna do it with this book. Its about this teenager jumping a cliff so he can be popular. 3 out of 5 people who have tried this have died. He thinks about it for a while. He can't decide what to do. He has a girlfriend as well. Do you think that he jumped the Nail? Do you think he jumped it with the girlfriend? If you wanna find out, get the book,

Summary: The Suicide Jump
Review: I think that Jumping the Nail is one of the greatest books I have ever read. It is a story about a group of friends who find it thrilling to jump off of this 20 storie high rock into water below. The girl that you are reading through the eyes of tries to stop one of her friends from jumping off the rock because she thinks to do that is to mark your own grave. It is a very chilling book and since I only kind of liked it I gave it a 4 stars rating.

Summary: jumping into unfamiliar waters
Review: I thought this book was suspenseful and interesting, but the dialogue is strange and it seems like the author is unfamiliar with the way teenagers talk in real life.

Summary: Jump Of A Lifetime
Review: In Eve Bunting's book, "Jumping The Nail", teenagers in La Paloma, California, are taking the jump of a lifetime off the 90-foot tall "Nail". In the story Dru, a recent high school graduate is planning on attending college at Northwestern University. Her boyfriend, Mike, will be attending college much closer to home.
The teens in town are enjoying their summer, until peer pressure drives one couple to jump the "Nail", which then leads to others jumping. Scooter Navarro and his girlfriend Elisa (Dru's best friend) are the first couple to jump the death defying "Nail". After making the jump safely Dru realizes that her friend Elisa is not acting like herself. Elisa confides to Dru that during her jump she saw a drowned girl at the bottom of the ocean. Elisa is acting weird due to her depression, and she thinks the drowned girl is going to come and get her.
Meanwhile there is a rivalry going on between two brothers and a boy named Hopi, over a girl named Diane. To prove to Diane that they are "real men", the two brothers decide to jump the "Nail". To make things even more exciting they decide to make the jump at night with all their friends watching. The two brothers make the jump and then something happens that nobody could have expected.
I liked this book because it was full of suspense and it kept me interested until the very last page. One of the things I especially liked about this story is that it dealt with one of the worst kinds of peer pressure. I would highly recommend this book. The people that would enjoy this book the most are young teens, both male and female.

Summary: Jumping The Nail
Review: In the book Jumping The Nail Teenagers find a new pastime, jumping a 90 foot cliff called the nail. The book is set in Los Paloma. Dru is worried about her friend Elisa after jumping the nail with her forceful boyfriend Scooter. Fallowed by continous events.What the auhtor is saaying is don't go do somthing that you'll regret later in life. What i liked about the book is the great action and mistory parts of the boook. For example the book would state an event and that unsolved event would glue you to the book until the solution is told.What i didn;t like about the book is that it had and an ending and i had to finish the book, in a nutshell it was a great book. This book is very understandable. i think that pretty much anyone into action, mistrory, love and some other things rolled into one can easily read this book and enjoy it. Anyone from ages 10 to 13+ can read this book whether your a boy or girl, woman or man. people with a reading abiity of about 5th grade and up can easily read this book withouy struggling. Anyone from any backround cultre or even religion can sit down and read this book. According to me, I can read this book over and over until I go blind
