A review by mmilligan94
Forrest Gump by Winston Groom

funny lighthearted slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

Judy Garland’s  “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” is so drastically different from  Israel Kamakowiwo’ole’s version they are barely the same song.  So it is with Forrest Gump the book vs the movie.  The movie is deeply emotional and uplifting; the book is fantastical and outrageous.  Both are five star for vastly different reasons.
