Summary: One of the most uplifting stories possible.
Comment: Like other reviewers, I am a cynic. Like other reviewers, I saw the cover and it interested me. I came back from lunch and looked up the title and, after reading the synopsis, ordered it immediately despite a stack of books at home just waiting to be read. I finally read it yesterday. Amazing how such an uplifting message can be delivered in only a couple of hours. Despite my innate cynicism, I finished the book wishing that something similar would happen -- and believing that it could. As the book points out, the idea is not "random acts of kindness". They are not random. It is spending your time looking for people that you can help -- and then asking them to pay it forward. And you help them despite your feelings to the contrary -- as in the case of Matt and Sidney G., or the original gang member Chris interviewed.
I started a tradition a couple years ago of buying some of the best books I read that year for friends and family, so they would have their own copies to pass on. This year, I am already considering buying everyone the same book, just because it was so wonderful and carries such an incredible message. I only wish that other readers had reacted more like the adults of the book, rather than Trevor's classmates -- seeing the possibilities and responsibilities that come with paying a kindness forward, rather than questioning whether people can actually live based on an honor system.

Summary: A great Idea that COULD Work
Comment: This story jumped up and bit me on the nose. It was one of the few books that I've read that has had a moral lesson as well as a great plot( romance , suspense,etc.) It makes you think about your own daily life and how little things can make a huge impact, if not in your life,then in others'. If one small act of kindness can lead to world peace, then what are we waiting for? If everyone who reads this book pays it foward ,then the world will become a better place. The book was well written and easy to follow, by giving each character it's own chapters. The premise of the story was very beleivable and the surprise ending was one you won't soon forget. I needed a box of tissues for the ending of the book and couldn't imagine what a movie of this impact would do to me! The book also had humor injected at opportuned times....I especially like the conversation between Trevor and the President when they first met. It is definetly a "feel good book", and should be recommended reading for every young person out there.....for they are the hope of the future. My eyes are already peeled for those in need so that I can pay it foward myself. Do not miss reading this book!

Summary: A great read!
Comment: Pay it Forward is one of my favourite all time books. I was so annoyed when a saw a reveiw written by a certain person called Steven, whoever he is, who said that Pay it Forward was unrealistic.
It is a wonderful book packed with imagination, cliffhangers, humour and even tragedy! The ending had me crying! You get to know the characters so well, that it almost makes you want to scream when anything bad happens to them!
