(This is one in a series of blogs on frequently asked question that I posted on MySpace when I began that blog.  I’m guessing most of my visitors to this site have not seen them.)

I get a lot of questions about this one. 

Q: What did I think of the movie version of Pay It Forward?

A: I thought the book was better.  Then again, I would, wouldn’t I?

When I say that, just about everybody says the same thing:  "Oh, the book is always better than the movie."  Which leads me to wonder why, as a society in general, we see so many movies and read so few books.  But that’s another rant for another blog.

I have theories as to why the book is always better.
