The book is incredible and I heartily recommend everyone read it just for how batshit insane it is. Here’s a taste:
Book Spoilers
In the book, the speech during the March on Washington doesn’t happen. Instead, Forrest joins the march and is egged into throwing his Medal of Honor away in protest. It hits a senator and he’s arrested. He is offered a deal to join NASA to avoid jail time. He is sent into space with a monkey and female astronaut. The monkey pees on the controls and they land in the rainforest. They’re captured by natives. When rescue comes the woman decides to stay, and it’s implied it’s because she’s screwing the natives.
He has a stint as a Professional Wrestler and The Creature from Black Lagoon.
Also, Bubba doesn’t die.
::: spoiler
It’s total insanity. Full of blue humor and raunchy sex. Is it good? Not particularly. Is it interesting? Absolutely.
Again, strongly recommend everyone read it. It truly is a trip.

Are you for real? Sounds like an acid trip
I’m super for real, and now that you mention it, wouldn’t be surprised if I found out the book was written while on drugs.
That is just insane. Now I want to read it
Wow. She didn’t tell me any of that.
