    "'Bein a idiot is no box of chocolates, ' but 'at least I ain't led no hum-drum life, ' says Forrest Gump, the lovable, surprisingly savvy hero of this wonderful comic novel. When the University of Alabama's football team drafts Forrest and makes him a star, that's only the beginning! He flunks out--and goes on to be a Vietnam war hero, a world-class ping-pong player, a wrestler, and a business tycoon. He compares battle scars with Lyndon Johnson, discovers the truth about Richard Nixon, and suffers the ups and downs of true love. Now, Forrest Gump is telling all--in a madcap screball romp through three decades of the American landscape. It's Gump's amazing travels ... and you've got to read them to believe them."--Publisher's note

    Take my word for it - don't never let nobody make a movie of your life's story... Forrest Gump is back! The lovable character returns in a long-awaited sequel to the bestselling novel and blockbuster film. A little older and wiser, he navigates the vibrant yet tumultuous 1980s, a time marked by greed and instant gratification. Whenever he feels lost, he visits Jenny's grave for comfort. After the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. goes bust, Forrest finds himself flat broke, sweeping floors in a New Orleans strip joint. However, his fortunes change when he gets the chance to play championship football again, bringing him back into the limelight and financial stability. But fate is unpredictable, and soon he’s on the road selling dubious encyclopedias while trying to raise his son, little Forrest, who needs him more than ever. Forrest's touching and comedic journey unfolds with unexpected events, including a chaotic attempt at hog farming, a quirky recipe for New Coke, and encounters with notable figures like Ollie North. Praised as a wacky and funny nuthouse of a book, Forrest's adventures continue to captivate readers, proving that he truly leads anything but a humdrum life.
