Summary

 "Bein' a idiot is no box of chocolates," but "at least I ain't led no hum-drum life," says Forrest Gump, the lovable, surprisingly savvy hero of this wonderful comic tale.

When the University of Alabama's football team drafts Forrest and makes him a star, that's only the beginning! He flunks out--and goes on to be a Vietnam war hero, a world-class Ping-Pong player, a wrestler, and a business tycoon. He compares battle scars with Lyndon Johnson, discovers the truth about Richard Nixon, and suffers the ups and downs of true love. Now, Forrest Gump's telling all--in a madcap, screwball romp through three decades of the American landscape.

It's Gump's amazing travels...and you've got to hear them to believe them.©1994 Winston Groom. All Rights Reserved; (P)1994 Simon & Schuster Inc., All Rights Reserved.

Great story although different from the movie me read very well by the narrator. Shame there wasn't an unabridged version.

This was an excellent story, read by the author no less but sadly abridged and way too short for me to enjoy, especially considering the parts that they cut were excellent.

Very good but I'm sad that it was abridged
