Description

Catherine Ryan Hyde’s international sensation, Pay It Forward, is the moving story of Trevor McKinney, a 12-year-old boy who accepts his social studies teacher’s challenge to come up with a plan to change the world.

Trevor’s idea is simple: Do a good deed for three people and ask them to "pay it forward" to three others who need help. He envisions a vast movement of kindness and goodwill spreading beyond his small California town and across the world.

However, when Jerry, a bum to whom Trevor gave his allowance, returns to a life of dissolution, the project seems valuable only as a lesson on the dark side of human nature. But ultimately Trevor is vindicated. At first people don’t know how to explain the odd dip in crime rates across the nation, but a journalist with a story of his own tracks down the source of the epidemic of random acts of kindness and makes Trevor a celebrity.

Yet Trevor has problems closer to home: He wants his pretty, hardworking mother to see the softer side of his beloved teacher, Reuben St. Clair, a scarred Vietnam veteran who seems to come alive only when he’s in front of his class.

Anyone who has ever despaired of one person’s ability to effect change will rejoice in Trevor’s courage and his determination to see the good in everyone.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Powerful...with believable dialoque and shadings that make the characters seem more lifelike than they have any right to be." ( Chicago Tribune)
"A good read and an inspiring novel; fascinating in its implications. Catherine Ryan Hyde joyfully delivered me from 'if only' to 'what if?' to 'why not?'" (Richard Paul Evans, author of The Christmas Box)

This is my first review

I'm a long-time Audible listener with over 200 books in my library. This is the first time that I've bothered to write a review. I usually just give it a rating when I'm done listening, for categorization in my own library. I'm not one of those guys who goes around giving out 5 stars lightly.
This book is good. Very, very good. I enjoyed it immensely and recommend it highly.
The narrator did an exceptional job. I believe it was the best performance on an audiobook that I have yet heard. The book has a wide variety of characters and has big emotional moments that most narrators either read too blandly or try too hard and just come out sounding cheesy. This guy nailed it. He was flawless.
I bought this book on a whim and it sat in my library for a long time before I felt in the right mood to give it a try. I'm very glad that I did.
Give it a try. It's well worth it.
