I do like this book for what it is but if your expecting the story that follows the movie then this is not it the movie must of been very loosely based on this book. I remember reading an interview with Tom Hanks about this film and he said he would only agree to shoot the movie if the events we're true to history! When you read this book you will see why, I actually prefer the movie version wish the had that as a book.

A literary work of art...end of story! Anyone with an interest in American history will appreciate it this book. You can almost hear Gump sitting next to you narrating. Im an ex army man. The Vietnam part bust my ass. I knew a good guy who just wanted to go home and drive his big john deere up and down his fields but ended up being wasted in the corner of a dusty field a long way from home. This books a work of art and if any ex army out there read this then i hope it helps you to come to terms with it all. You should read a book by Karl Marlantes too, ‘what it is like to go to war’. Did more for me than any head shrinker could ever do. ✌🏼
