Just got done reading the book. How in the H#ll did they ever make the movie from this book??? The book was fantastic! However, it was so WAYYY DIFFERENT than the movie! I highly recommend this book! Forrest is a lot more believable in this book than the movie. I think it's definatly a guy book. I don't want to give away any secrets, but all the characters are vastly different than the movie!

He gave away all his money at the end of book one, so how could he lose what he didn't have? That seems weird to me.

Nevermind, I forgot that. The next book is about his struggles without money....okay fine I read the first one and my mother read the second one

Heck, if there is a sequal, I may just try and see if I can get it. We have an awesome fifty cent used bookstore I just found and am reading tons of books now!!
