Book review 2-12

I read, “Forrest Gump” made by Winston Groom. This is a warm and funny story about a good-hearted young man from Alabama, Forrest Gump.

He’s an unusual man, however,　he is very tall and good footballer and has a special power to play the harmonica without teaching from anyone. After college, he becomes a soldier and goes to Vietnam, where he meets two people, Benjamin and Bubba. He is active in the war, but he loses Bubba. After that, he meets the President of America, he goes into space and his best friend, Sue, is an ape. Sue did some funny actions in the story.

I think it is a little boring because it is different from that of movie. The existence of Sue and Forrest’s activities on Chess and Arm-wresting are not showed in the movie. I think these are an original story of this book. I recommend this book to read another story of Forrest Gump even if you like the movie’s scenario.
