Book Overview

Forrest Gump captured our hearts in the #1 New York Times bestselling novel Forrest Gump, and in the blockbuster film, winner of six Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Actor. Now he returns in the long-awaited sequel to the book hailed by Larry King as "the funniest novel I have ever read." A little older, and wiser in his unique way, Forrest is still running -- this time straight into the age of greed and instant gratification known as the 1980s. Whenever I really get stumped, I go visit Jenny's grave. She tells me she's always rooting for me. The Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. has gone bust and now Forrest is flat broke, sweeping floors in a New Orleans strip joint, when a fresh opportunity to play championship football puts him back in the limelight -- and in the money. But fate turns fickle again, and he's soon out on the road selling phony encyclopedias and trying to raise his son, little Forrest, who needs his father more than ever. Forrest's remarkable, touching, and utterly comic odyssey has just begun: in store for him is an explosive attempt at hog farming; his own dubious recipe for adding life to New Coke; an encounter with Oliver North of the Iran-Contra affair; and a chance yet again to unwittingly twist the nose of history.

Great Book!

I though this book was totally oustanding! I have no idea why they did not make this book into a sequel to the movie. If this book is not as good as the movie, it might be even better!

THE BEST BOOK IVE EVER READ

This book was the most entertaining book that i have ever read! I thought it was hilarious. Some parts of it didnt seem real likely to happen, but, oh well. They should make a movie out of this book, a sequel to Forrest Gump, which was one of my favorite movies.

Keep The Laughs Rolling!

This book picks back up where the last one left off with more hilarious situations. Who cares if this is not possible, or that could never happen? That's why you call it fiction. I found myself laughing out loud and causing others to wonder what was so funny. This is a must for anyone seeking a heavy dose of laughter. Reading this book could also put you in a better mood when things aren't going right.

How Many Best Pictures Were Based on a Book?
Published by Amanda Cleveland • March 21, 2024
With Oppenheimer's recent Oscars win, we had a question: How many Best Picture winners were based on a book? Countless classic films are adaptations, as if a great story tends to start in literature. Let's look at the numbers and the amazing books that have lead to great films.
