Joyously madcap
Publishers Weekly
Rollicking, bawdy... A good time... Poking fun at everything
People
Forrest Gump is line bred out of Voltaire and Huck Finn; its humour is wild and coarse, a satire right on the money. It is not the less honest for being so funny, for bringing the woebegone archangels of our culture and history to judgement. Anyone who doesn't read this book deserves to spend the winter in North Dakota

Winston Groom has created the ideal citizen for the modern world - a perfect idiot
