Forrest Gump

I read the book Forrest Gump, which was  interesting story about man who is idiot but who always is trying to do what’s best. His life wasn’t easy, he was in normal school where people bullied him but there was a girl called Jenny who liked Forrest. Soon Forrest was moved to the idiot school and he couldn’t see Jenny anymore. People suddenly noticed how fast Forrest runs so he got place in university’s football team. After this Forrest goes to army and got new friend called Bubba and they talk about shrimp business. Forrest’s squad was sent to Vietnam where they got attacked by enemies and Forrest saves some of them but his friend Bubba got shot in the head and died. When Forrest got back to USA he was awarded by medal of honor and President gave it to him. Then Forrest accepted NASA’s mission to go space with another person and monkey called Sue but after coming back they crashed to jungle somewhere in South America. NASA found them four years later and Sue was Forrest’s new best friend. Forrest became chess champion and wrestler too and in the end of the book he meets Jenny and his own child called Forrest and starts the shrimp business and gives the earned money to Bubba’s family.

Book was good and little different than the movie. Forrest was the narrator and the language of the book wasn’t hard to understand.
