Forrest gump has one heck of a story to tell -- and you've got to read it to believe it...

Great Listen.

The simularites between the movie and this book are slim. but the overall message is still there. It is beautifully narrated, even though the narrator doesnt fully change his voice you can tell which character is which.

I can't believe I have waited so long to listen.

This was a joy to listen too and I think I might listen again. Awesome all the way through.

Delightful

Mark Hammer’s reading was magnificent, certainly up to the level of Dennis Quaid and George Goodall. The story is not the same as the movie, and was a very funny tale.

Gump

Wonderful book and as good as the movie with Tom Hanks. Definitely a good book to listen.

Book very good, movie inspirational. Both have different messages

I saw the movie just a couple of days ago and the book paints a different but probably more realistic man. The book ends in a sadder place. The film was inspirational so I am downscoring the book because the movie tells a tighter less fantastic but happier story. Having said that the book is quite good and the narration excellent
