This was a sweet book and I think that was ultimately my problem with it. On the cover it says “Three imperfect people, one perfect idea.” I disagree. I think Trevor was too perfect a character. It rather made the ending feel rather inevitable.

I found the writing style a little confusing at first. It was the snippets from the different books that threw me off. Until I got into the rhythm of it, I wasn’t quite sure who was narrating.

That said, I still really enjoyed it. The philosophy was fascinating. I also liked the way it focused on the relationships between the characters and how they miscommunicated. It added a healthy dose of realism to it all.

A simple kid, driven by a social stupid project came up with a way to change the world with random acts of kindness. What you do, is help 3 people, and those people have to help 3 people, and those people have to help 3 more people and the story goes on.
This is truly an inspirational, yet tragic, story. So
go ahead, I dare you. Pay it forward.

i don’t know which i liked better, movie or book. movie had haley joel osment, but the book made me cry.
