Forrest Gumps original book sucks.
Personally the movie itself is one of the best one I’ve watched and been my favorite for a quite while so I thought it’d be a great idea to read the book just in case I missed something that didn’t appear on the movie.
I just started the book and I believe it’s one of the worst book I’ve ever read so far, I’m aware it’s supposed to be “goofy” and comedic, reading it feels like listening to a persons boring ass rant over and over but you have to force yourself to be unbothered and engaged because you don’t want to be seen as a mean jerk. So people don’t be bothered to waste your money. (Plus as an Asian person I feel pretty offended about a racism towards China/mongolia ON THE FIRST PAGE describing themselves as dumb idiots with their eyes too close who drools a lot and plays with themselves????)
