vuduchile 1,940 Posted November 22, 2019 So much better than the movie, and a much different story really. I'd never really thought about reading the book until I stumbled upon it recently. I'm glad I did. It's not PC and definitely R rated. Check it out. It's really good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vuduchile 1,940 Posted November 22, 2019 A little snippet that might give you an idea of how much the book and movie differ Forrest on playing against Nebraska in the Orange Bowl ”We play real good after that. Cept them Nebraska corn shucker jerkoff n gg r s and big ole dumb white boys, they ain’t jus settin’ there observing the scene.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted November 22, 2019 It’s a good book, a bit wacky and I can’t say better than the movie but it’s still a good book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never knew that the first movie was based on the first book of a series of books... I remember a story when the movie was made that the guy who wrote the book made basically nothing from the movie.
