Catherine Ryan Hyde's Pay It Forward takes as its premise the bumper-sticker phrase "Think Globally, Act Locally" and builds a novel around it. The hero of her story is young Trevor McKinney, a 12-year-old whose imagination is sparked by an extra-credit assignment in Social Studies: "Think of an idea for world change, and put it into action." Trevor's idea is deceptively simple: do a good deed for three people, and in exchange, ask each of them to "pay it forward" to three more. "So nine people get helped. Then those people have to do twenty-seven.... Then it sort of spreads out." Trevor's early attempts to get his project off the ground seem to end in failure: a junkie he befriends ends up back in jail; an elderly woman whose garden he tends dies unexpectedly. But even after the boy has given up on his plan, his acts of kindness bear unexpected fruit, and soon an entire movement is underway and spreading across America.
Trevor, meanwhile, could use a little help himself. His father walked out on the family, and his mother, Arlene, is fighting an uphill battle with alcoholism, poor judgment in men, and despair. When the boy's new Social Studies teacher, Reuben St. Clair, arrives on the scene, Trevor sees in him not only a source of inspiration for how to change the world, but also the means of altering his mother's life. Yet Reuben has his own set of problems. Horribly scarred in Vietnam, he is reluctant to open himself up to the possibility of rejection--or love. Indeed, the relationship between Arlene and Reuben is central to the novel as these two damaged people learn to "pay forward" the trust and affection Trevor has given them.
Hyde tells her tale from many different perspectives, using letters, diary entries, and first- and third-person narratives from the various people whose lives Trevor's project touches. Jerry Busconi, for example, the addict Trevor tried to help, one night finds himself talking a young woman out of jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge:
I'm a junkie, Charlotte. I'm always gonna be a junkie. I ain't never gonna be no fine, upstanding citizen. But then I thought, hell. Just pay it forward anyway. Kid tried to help me. Okay, it didn't work. Still, I'm trying to help you. Maybe you'll jump. I don't know. But I tried, right? But let me tell you one thing. I woke up one morning and somebody gave me a chance. Just outta nowhere. It was like a miracle. Now, how do you know that won't happen to you tomorrow?
Pay It Forward is reminiscent of Frank Capra's classic It's a Wonderful Life. Like the film, this novel has a steely core of gritty reality beneath its optimism: yes, one person can make a difference, can help to make the world a better place, but sickness, pain, heartache, and tragedy will still always be a part of the human condition. If at times Hyde stumbles a bit while negotiating the razor-thin line between honest feeling and sentimentality, it's generally not for long. And the occasional lapse into artificially colored emotion can be forgiven when weighed against the courage it takes to write so unabashedly hopeful a story in such cynical times. --Sheila Bright
Book Description
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.
Download Description
This poignant novel of a young boy's unfailing belief in an individual's power to change the world and the ultimate goodness of the human spirit is destined to become a classic. Demonstrating the same universal appeal as "Forrest Gump, " Hyde's story is a down-to-earth look at the virtue of innocence and of faith--not in a deity, but in humankind.

Good, but sad.......2007-06-19
I enjoyed reading this book, and watching the movie. It made me think twice about life and helping others. I didn't know that one middle school kid could change so many peoples lives. Very insperational, but also makes some tears start flowing.

I am very impressed with the speed of the delivery concerning the book, and the book itself was amazing!!!! My family also orders things through Amazon and has never had any problems, keep up the good work!! :)
Simplistic.......2007-02-12
Reuben St. Clair is a teacher of seventh graders. He has just moved to a new town to teach, which is difficult for him. It is so difficult because he was badly wounded in Vietnam and half of his face is terribly scarred. People find it hard to look at him, and he finds it hard to deal with people who treat him like he has a disease. On the first day of school, he assigns his students a project they can do for extra credit. They are to come up with a plan that will change the world for the better, and they are to put that plan into action.
Several students take the challenge, including Trevor, a boy who lives with his lonely single mom, who works far harder than she should have to. Trevor's idea is to choose three people and do pretty big favors for them. When they want to pay him back, he will instead tell them to pay it forward--to each choose three more people and do pretty big favors for them, spreading the word of paying it forward. No one seems to think his idea will work. People won't continue on this sort of honor system. But Trevor tries anyway.
Trevor's first project is a homeless addict. Trevor gives money from his paper route so the man can get some decent clothing and get a job. Soon after that, the man goes back to drinking and drugs and ends up in prison. Trevor's second project is to spend hours and hours fixing the garden of an old woman who lives down the street. She is grateful and seems like she will really pay it forward. But then she dies shortly after that. Trevor's third project is an attempt to get his teacher and his mother together. That goes badly right from the start, and Trevor admits that his project is a bust.
However, things are happening in town and across the nation. Good deeds are being done for people by total strangers. Could it be that the idea of paying it forward has really picked up?
I liked the format of this book. It was written from several points of view, to put everything together. I also liked the relationship between Trevor and Reuben. However, I didn't much like the relationship between Reuben and Trevor's mother. It was far too easy. The whole plot was very simplistic; it made it seem as though it would be reasonable for a middle-schooler to inspire everyone across the country to start being nice.
A Story to Remember for the Good It Imparts........2006-12-14
The cover of this paperback shows the stars of the film based loosely on this clever book. It is easier to read heart-wrending and impossibly sad situations than it is to watch them acted out on stage or in the movies. The thesis is somewhat changed to Hollywood standards, but on the whole it is worth buying the video as a remembrance of a wonderful book with a magnificent thought of changing America and the world with consideration and manners and "do unto others" we were taught at church as children.
This movie was cute and thought-provoking. The star clearly is Haley Joel Osment who we all loved in 'Sixth Sense' with Bruce Willis. He is still the lovable precocious child who can manipulate the adults to do as he wants and think it was their idea in the first place. Trevor has an unhappy childhood with an absent dad and an uneducated waitress mother played by Helen Hunt, a marvelous actress. His 7th grade teacher, the highly intelligent Kevin Spacey thinks he is playing a game when he directs his students to be do-gooders. Only Trevor takes him seriously. This is the basic pyramid scheme like a chain letter.
The children must do good deeds for three people, who in turn do good things for three other people. These nine must "pay it forward" ad infinitum. It was a game of "do-good"ing which could change the world into a nicer place. The teacher becomes Trevor's pawn in the game of chance whereby Trevor maneuvers to pair him up with his single mom. Both adults are scarred inwardly and outwardly, and Trevor's attempts show how low-class becomes high class.
This was based on the book written by Catherine Ryan Hyde, which was better than the film, as they usually always are. "Pay forward" is the manner of preforming an unexpected act of kindness which multiplies hundredfold. Haley Joel Osment was as superb in this smaltzy film as he was the dead child in 'Sixth Sense.' Ms. Hyde has written other such novels and all are well worth the effort of reading. Watching is totally different from reading and hearing the voices in your mind. It is better to visualize the characters than to watch the individual acting styles of so-called stars who try to outdo each other. Read before you view.
READ IT!!.......2006-11-22
Pay it forward is one of the greatest book I've ever read. It's about a twelve-year-old boy that comes up with an idea of how he can change the world. The book's about his efforts to forfill his idea to be a worldwide movement. The book really made me realize that one person can make a diffrent.. It made me look up and see how people treat eachother in our society and even if I wasn't to happy about what I saw, I felt some kind of hope that there's somebody out in the world making a change..

Basic.......2007-08-07
I was surprised at how basic this book is! If you are philosophically inclined and if you have ever devoted some time to exploring the subject of kindness, then I believe you'll find this book as unchallenging as I have. I lost interest in it almost completely by the 40th page and struggled with it through the end. On the other hand, if this subject is new to you (you have neither really thought about it nor read any books about it), then I would recommend it, because it offers some ideas not encountered in everyday conversations. I would even guess that people who read a lot would not like it, because the subject of kindness is explored through literature too.
I gave it a very low rating because:
1. I think that the content of the book does not nearly justify the price of 10 $(130 small pages with not much substance)
2. the author has no advanced knowledge/ideas on the subject and adds nothing new to what is already out there. Also, the subtitle (importance of love and relative unimportance of everything else) is not argued.
Is Kindness Inevitable?.......2005-03-22
The first thing that struck me when I read this inspirational little book was Forrest's proactive definition of kindness. Kindness is not an insincere compliment or an empty "call me if you need help." Kindness requires us to give something of ourselves. It doesn't have to be a huge sacrifice, either. It is one part empathy, one part compassion, one part charity. Kindness is giving the perfect gift without the holiday.
But more than telling us what kindness is and isn't, Forrest inspires the reader to be kind. She does so most powerfully by seeding her pages with first-hand accounts of the effects of kindness on every day people like you and me. For this reader, these stories conjured memories of kind acts that were bestowed upon me, reminding me how a smile or a hug at just the right moment got me through some of my most painful experiences. Surely, I thought to myself as I read, these are things I could do for others.
And that is my favorite part about reading A Short Course in Kindness. The feeling I come away with that kindness is inevitable. It is in our nature. Despite the horror that the news media report to us every day, examples of people being kind to each other abound. I wish this book was required reading!
Forrest's writing style is warm and humorous, and she isn't afraid to share her own painful experiences. The chapters are short, yet quite moving. I find it makes for great reading whenever I catch myself with a few minutes to spare. I'll read a few pages at bedtime, click off the light, and slip off to sleep feeling peaceful and optimistic. It's the kind of book that you will want to read more than once.

Fierce Kindness.......2003-09-16
Kindness is not wimpy, not "nice", not for the faint of heart. In this little gem of a book Ms. Forrest shows us time after time that kindness takes courage, strength and ultimately the decision in the moment to reach out to those around us, one by one. "We can save the world, because we are the world," the author tells us. There have been a few titles in my lifetime that I have given to the people in my life who are closest to me. "A Short Course in Kindness" has joined that list. Buy this, read it, and then live it in your day to day life - you won't be sorry.
A short but powerful course in kindness.......2003-06-15
If you desire to have a kinder, gentler, more compassionate soul when dealing with others or when dealing with life itself then this book provides a roadmap to get there. "A Short Course in Kindness" points out the difference between just being nice, which many people are at times, and being truly kind. Kindness is a way of life, a way of being. The author points out techniques to learn to be kind by empathizing with others and as well as techniques to learn how to be kind to yourself (an aspect of kindness that many people overlook). Not just content to explore kindness, she also explores the enemies of kindness and how to keep them at bay. If you want to change yourself and change your world you can't go wrong with this book. "A Short Course in Kindness" is a recommended read.
Welcome and recommended reading.......2003-05-22
A Short Course In Kindness by Margot Silk Forest (Founder of The Healing Woman, a non-profit organization for adults recovering from childhood abuse) is a thoughtful and thought-provoking collection of anecdotes, insights, humor, sadness, and wisdom about what true kindness is, and how to embrace and express it in our daily lives.

cold day left me cold.......2006-07-25
I read alot and have found few books so dissapointing. I may not even finish this book. Ms. Cameron created too many shallow characters. Even the two main characters are not well developed. The reader is not drawn into their world. There are too many ideas and directions in this disjointed book. It is difficult to feel anything for any of the charaters. Do not waste time or money on this book.
Where's Amy????.......2006-01-23
Architect Marc Girard returns to his Toussaint, Louisiana roots to determine if a recently deceased single is actually his estranged sister, Amy. Enter town doctor Reb O'Brien. She rolls into town on her Harley and recaptures Marc's heart.
The two investigate whether or not Bonnie is Amy (and whether she is the third victim of the "rubber killer"), but Amy is actually being held captive by the wife of her former lover, Chauncey. Chauncey and wife Precious get the idea to do away with Amy and trade bodies in the cemetery. However, the husband and wife duo don't trust each other, and through lots of dirty dealings, the body goes missing.
The story is chock-filled with eclectic residents, including a sherrif named "Spike," a priest with an obvious crush on the church secretary, a bakery aptly named "All Tarted Up," and even a bumbling hit man who could not even kill time.
The story is interesting and captures your attention. You almost want to have these zany characters as neighbors. The only thing I did not like about the story was the conclusion. Or should I say what conclusion? With only two pages to go, I kept thinking, what about Amy? There are just too many loose ends, resulting in a disappointing ending.
Just awful! .......2005-03-29
This is the worse book I have read in a very long time, and I read a lot. The only reason I kept reading it was because I thought, this has to get better, well it didn't!
I guess you could make up your own endings: Marc and Reb lived happily ever after (it takes about a month for them to come out of heat). Spike and Jilly marry and Jilly makes an excellent mother to Spike's mystery daughter (who has no place in the story but is mentioned). Madge finally decides that Cyrus will not break his vow with God and ends up with Joe, Jilly's brother. Precious, having been shamed by her mother and husband losses everything ends up a stripper in New Orleans with Amy as her best friend and roommate. Pepper Leach is released from prison just in time to be May Lynn's maid of honor and ends up having an affair with May Lynn's new husband. And finally little Wally ends up being a famous artist by recreating the scary statue Orible bought for the church. Wow, that was kind-of fun!
Nice to know I'm not alone..........2004-08-28
I logged on to Amazon.com to see if this book really ended so oddly, or if I was missing pages. It was a very good read, with an unsatisfying ending.
Don't Waste Your Time.......2004-07-16
This is the worse book I have read in a very long time, and I read a lot. It was a tease starting out with several interesting characters that were never developed. No character was truly likable because there was not enough information offered to make them 3-dimensional. Gaps and blunders abound. For example: Why did people hate Marc? How could Reb go from cold to hot so fast? What happened to Amy? Who was Bonnie Blue? What was the deal with the photograph? Why did Oribel think she was Cyrus' proctector? And the biggest blunder of all... what made the publishers think this novel was finished?

Customer Reviews:
Simplistic & exclusionary.......2006-05-19
Despite the grandiose subtitle Women and Depression", this book in fact draws upon interviews with twelve women - all of whom are white and heterosexual (and all but one were married). Considering this was originally published in 1991, long after bell hooks and Adrienne Rich had exposed the racist and heterosexist bias of early feminist texts, Dana Jack's exclusionism is really not excusable!
Nevertheless, her thesis: Jack describes the root cause of depression in (her selection of) women as the loss of the self: "Women describe their depression as precipitated...by the recognition that they have lost themselves in trying to establish an intimacy that was never attained." She describes at length how women, in trying to live up to ideals of femalehood, engage in processes of self-alientation. "Despair arises," she concludes, "when a person feels hopeless about the possibility of emotional contact with others." But depression is a very complex illness with myriad root causes (inherited susceptibility, social status, family situation, childhood trauma etc.); defining it so narrowly is only really going to be helpful for selected sufferers.
Where Dana Jack is good is on elucidating the sheer activity and effort that some women put into being so compliantly passive. The twelve women are very candid about their feelings on this point and Jack gives them alot of space. However, the psychosocial origins of depressive behaviour remain opaque: Why is it that women are twice as likely as men to suffer from depression (although men are more likely to kill themselves)? Why are the numbers seemingly rising in spite of feminist advances in the last decades? How are forms of social oppression and depression in women linked? Offering more flexible and expansive answers to such questions would help us understand the root causes of such illnesses in society and would help all women (and not just the white, heterosexual ones) out of the psychological dead-end of depression.
Depressed women.......2002-01-16
It is well established from epidemiological studies that women suffer more depressive illness than men. Housebound housewives have a specially high amount of depression. Men commit suicide more often and are more ptone to alcoholism. A number of theories have been suggested to account for these facts.
Jack reviews some of the psychological theories (none of the biological ones) and presents her own theory that the depression is the result of women's indoctrination to self-effacement and low self-esteem (This is an over-simplification, and you'd have to read the book to do her ideas full justice).
She supports her thesis by a two year study of twelve depressed women. She did not have a control group. I don't see why not. It could be that she wanted to concentrate on the individuals' feelings in a non-quantitative way, but she does present a questionnaire and some statistics.
Nevertheless the interviews and case studies are well done and helpful to anyone interested in depression. Her recommended psychotherapy methods (medication is barely mentions) seem to be what is sometimes called dialectical or cognitive. Again you'd need a control group to prove treatment effectiveness.
As a self-help book for depressed patients themselves. I think it's a little too densely written. The writing is good and lucid, but someone in the throes of a severe depression would find trouble following it. Relatives of depressed women, especially husbands, might benefit more but this is not one of the depression books I would highly recommend to non-professionals. Prodessionals who work with depression and students who are interested in cognitive and dialectical approaches with (ok - now it comes) a feminist slant should find it useful and highly readable.
Excellent for women to re-discover who they were and can be!.......1998-09-22
An opportunity for women to put the pieces of thier lives together to form a complete picture of themselves. Offers others' lives to identify with through thier experiences. Also presents an opportunity to recognize that society plays a major role in women's self-distortion. If one can make it through the first chapter, the rest is easy!
