Publisher Description

The modern classic that inspired the beloved movie starring Tom Hanks.

Six foot six, 242 pounds, and possessed of a scant IQ of 70, Forrest Gump is the lovable, surprisingly savvy hero of this classic comic tale. His early life may seem inauspicious, but when the University of Alabama’s football team drafts Forrest and makes him a star, it sets him on an unbelievable path that will transform him from Vietnam hero to world-class Ping-Pong player, from wrestler to entrepreneur. With a voice all his own, Forrest is telling all in a madcap romp through three decades of American history.

A great story, best told on film

Before even reading this book, it should be noted that this book is nothing like its film adaptation. Although many story elements differ from the book and movie, both are great stories, however, I personally prefer the movie. The endings are one of the greatest differences between the two. If you like the movie, you should read this book, just to see where the amazing story of Forrest Gump began.

Cool story

Way better than the movie. You can see where they had to make the movie what it was because this book would have been a tough screen play…but very good read nonetheless

Forrest Gump

I lost IQ points reading this.
Absolutely the dumbest book I’ve ever read.
It’s amazing that the movie company made such a great movie out of this book.
The movie company should have sued the author and got their money back.
