Catherine Ryan Hyde

It all started with the social studies teacher's extra-credit assignment: come up with a plan to change the world for the better, and do it. Twelve-year-old Trevor McKinney began by doing something good for three people. But instead of paying him back, he asked them to "pay it forward" by doing a favor for three more people, who in turn would help three others, and so on, each act a link in a chain of human kindness. And no one - not his teacher, his mom, or anyone in his small California town - could ever have dreamed of how far Trevor's plan would go.-Back cover.

Save for the "hit you below the belt" ending, I would have giving this book a full five out of five. The ending was cheaply melodramatic and just there for shock value. I haven't seen the film though I know enough about it to say that the actors cast for the roles don't look anything like they're described in the book.

  Inspirat de o temă pe care o primește de la noul său profesor de Științe sociale, micul Trevor are o idee menită să schimbe lumea. O ambiție uriașă pentru un puști de numai doisprezece ani, dar care reușește, în ciuda obstacolelor, să nu-și piardă idealismul și să demonstreze că toți putem fi capabili de fapte bune. În jocul aritmetic al lui Trevor, de la un singur om care face trei lucruri importante pentru trei oameni diferiți, se poate ajunge la o lume întreagă în care o favoare primită nu se întoarce, ci se răsplătește dând mai departe ajutorul celor care au nevoie de el. „O capodoperă cu un final incendiar." Kirkus Reviews „Foarte puternic... dialoguri veridice și nuanțe care fac personajele mai vii decât ar fi în realitate." Chicago Tribune „Catherine Ryan Hyde ne conduce către un final curajos și puternic." Los Angeles Times „Filosofia din spatele cărții este atât de interesantă, iar optimismul ei atât de contagios, încât cititorul absoarbe fără să-și dea seama o poveste de care-și va aminti multă vreme." The Denver Post

O carte cu adevarat frumoasa, cu invataturi atat de simple, si totusi greu de inteles pentru cei ce isi ascund sinele fata de adevar, si fata de cele ce se intampla in jurul nostru.

Characters are often dumb and annoying but I like the story

** spoiler alert **
           Really good, it made me think about other people who aren't as lucky as I am. The ending. however was sad. Trevor was my favorite character, and it was sad to think that he died trying to save other people.
