Title: Extremely Disappointing
Review: I was absolutely amazed to see the number of positive reviews this book has received on this site!For me, the allure of the original book (and movie) was that however unlikely and improbable Forrest's adventures were, there was the thought that "well, I suppose it COULD have happened that way." Not so with this book (see especially the World Cup game). The way he "coincidentally" happens to run into all his friends in the most remote and random places on the globe wears thin very quickly. What's worse, the threads linking each of Forrest's "episodes" together in this book are so thin that I can't even floss my teeth with them.For my money, this may be the worst book I've read in the 1990s.
