Summary: Decent but nothing great
Comment: Basically this book is a booring rehash of the first book. Groom was obviousely riding the success of the movie with this one. Well the story begins pretty much where the first book left off and Forest is rich... very rich. He meets up with little forest and the two have adventures that take them all over the country. Same basic stuff as in the movie, great feats, amazing luck, bla bla bla, but here here they are mostly just plain silly - like the part when he gets poop all over the town. It indeed is worth a couple laughs as this was the first time in my life that I actually laughed out loud while reading a book, but thats about it. The writing just seems rushed and tiresome. Nothing great here folks unless you're a big Gump fan.

Summary: Father-son combo "and that's all I got to say about that."
Comment: The two strong characters in this sequeal to "Forrest Gump", Forrest and Little Forrest, work together through a tough time of maturing for both of them. One of which is battling the times of a pretty normal teen age, and the other, who is trying to overcome the fact that he is just and idiot.
Even though Forrest Gump admits he is an idiot, I believe that Mr. Groom is using this novel to help increase the I. Q. of Forrest or to raise the critics views of intelligence of him.
From pig farming to door to door salesman, there is always something that goes wrong, and sometimes it isn't even Forrest's fault. Jenny's spirit or ghost assists Forrest through the novel, through the tough times and the good times she is there reminding him that he has a someone to look after and reminding him that he isn't an stupid idiot.
And to Mr. Groom, I don't think this book was a mistake, even though "they still put rubber mats around spatoons!", and I do think someone should make a life story about you, and that you should let them!

Summary: Junius Maltby and the Monks of Clonmacnoise
Comment: Ecstatic holy mind buzz cover to cover. What happens after Revelation? I nominate Gump & Co. for 67th chapter of the Bible.
