Gump & Co. (Abridged) Audiobook

" Stupid is stupid dose. "

" Stinky. "

" GAGAL! Yah.. Winston Groom gagal mengulangi kesuksesan Forrest Gump di sekuelnya ini. Ceritanya hanya lanjutan tanggung dan pengulangan demi pengulangan dari pola novel pertama. Tapi meskipun begitu ceritanya masih lumayan lucu. "

" The first book was witty, fun to read and they made a movie out of it you either hated or liked. Then came the academy awards where it won a slew of Oscars and not one member of the cast and crew thanked the author for whom this movie would never have ever been created. So, in a fit of pique (or so it's said), he wrote a sequel vowing to make it completely impossible to film. The result was a mess with little to no plot or pacing and to fit as many events and incidents as possible to the point of unreadable. Every other page Gump gets into another adventure or incident, leaving the previous predicament he was in making you wondering what the hell happened. Awful, awful book. "

" The first one ended so well that I think a second one was uncalled for. It was okay though. "

" if you enjoyed forrest gump, you'll like this one better. here's a give away... imagine forrest gump meeting tom hanks for the first time. ;) luv it! "

" how disappointing. i absolutely loved the first gump book which i read a week ago or so. it was so diff, fresh and fun that i really enjoyed it. i got this book afterward to read the sequel of sorts to it. this book stunk. i didn't even get halfway into it and just quit. closed it and removed the bookmark. just dumb. like trying to recreate a moment that just doesn't work. groom tries so hard to get back into the writing and story groove of the first book but it never happens. spotty and jumping around the book is a mess. highly recommend the first and highly recommend staying clear of the second. dangit "

" It's a fast an easy read. I think the author saw a way to make an easy buck after the first one was made into a movie so why not write a sequel. "

" Gump and Co. is the logical follow up to Forrest Gump. It's a hella funny read and sheds light on how the so-called serious life can easily turn into a comedy...which most of the time it actually goes back and forth..around and around! "

" this book is life changing.i love every pages of it. "

" From what I remember, not as good as first book. "

" This is the sequel of the famous Forrest Gump. I red it almost 10 years ago. Is it still available in the bookstore? I vividly remember the chapter when he took part on the desolation of Berlin wall...Can't breath, rolled down funny! "

" I really did enjoy this style of writing and story telling. "

" t was good to see Forrest again. This book does not flow like the first. The crazy adventures are there but feel a bit forced. I guess this was one way for the author to cash in on the popularity of the movie version of his first Gump "

" you can't ask for more incredible Forrest Gump through its sequel. seems to me like Groom is out of his brilliant ideas to create another laugh-to-tears-epic moments for Gump and Bubba. "

" It was ok. Not as good as the first. "

" this is the sequel for Forrest Gump. It's okay but not half as good as the first. "

" Not as hilarious as Forrest Gump but still... there's always the Gump factor that makes it a worthy sequel. "You know what I mean?" "

" I didn't like the first book. I loved the film. This book, somehow ties the two together nicely. I was swept away by all the stories, and especially enjoyed the part with Hussain. "

" More goofy than the first book, and I LOVE it. Did you know Forrest invented New Coke? (The drink.) "

" Not nearly as good as the first book, but still an entertaining slice of Forrest Gump's life. "

" Very funny - laughed out loud "

" Groom's post-Zemeckis sequel unfortunately reads more like a sequel to the movie Forrest Gump rather than his original novel, which is a shame. It lacks the bite of the Forrest Gump novel, and is instantly forgettable. Meh. "

" disappointed! oh well the movie's better. "

" novel terjemahan, one of my favorites novels "

" Not as good as the original, but still a nice read. "

" Very rarely is a movie better than the book, but it is in this case.There is nothing wrong with the book, it's humourous and moves along very quickly, in fact, it took less time to read than to watch the movie!I happily look forward to reading other things by this author. "

" I'm bordering on a 2.5 / 5.0This book just does not have a chance with the movie adaptation. The movie and the book are SO different from one another. It was, however, a very easy read. "

" suka sekali dengan karakter Forrest Gump. bener-bener mengajarkan orang untuk menikmati hidup "

" Funny and at times very moving. The most entertaining fake autobiography I've ever read. "

" überhaupt nicht lustig, und allgemein sehr anders vom film... jedoch teilweise echt gelungene weitere geschichten, die ich noch nicht kannte, so rettet forrest zum beispiel mao.. hätte auch noch gut in den film gepasst... "

" Excellent story ... even better than the movie. "

" I don't like the translation x_x But it is such a wonderful story.. "

" stupidity (or should I call it "näive?) doesn't relate to luck. that's all about the matter of fate. End of discussion. "

" For once a book is worse than the movie! Nothing like the movie, the book is much more far fetch than the movie. At least the movie allows you to believe that this story could actually happen. Where the book leaves no room for that. "

" An interesting story with a lot of hilarious content that wasn't included in the movie.If you haven't read it yet I would definitely recommend it. "

" It isn't like the movie and I guess i expected something that it didn't deliver on "

" ONLY WATCH THE MOVIE - the book is horrible! "

" Another prime example of novel versus movie, where the original novel wins hands down. "
