Review highlights

Reviews

Great story but a challenge to read.

"Challenging for a younger reader due to the narration style written with the main character’s accent."

C C. (4/5)

Gump

"Great book to read , with parts that are not in the movie, easy to order and pick up in store."

Liss (5/5)

Not The Movie

"Some movies are very similar, if not exact to the book. This one was far from the movie. I did not like this as much as I thought I would. However it might have to do with my unending love for the movie."

Laura E. (2/5)

Good

"A tad different from the movie, but in good ways. Forrest's story is just as sad and funny."

Jason (4/5)

Love it!

"I love this book and the sequel. I have read both multiple times."

Angela (5/5)

Inspiring, Hilarious. . .

"I loved reading this. Even more than the movie, and I LOVE the movie. It is beautiful in every way with Forrest just being a regular person, with regular feelings, and regular thoughts. Paired with amazing adventures."

Sandra (5/5)

"this is an extraordinary book written by and extraordinary person. so glad i give this a chance! this book shows us that no matter who you are or how smart you happen to be, you really can do anything. fate has a way of playing with us doesn't it? i believe  all of our journeys in life are decided by fate. this book proves exactly that."
