阿甘正传(Forrest Gump)简介：
Los Angeles TimesPart Candide, part Huck Finn and a whole lot of Andy Griffith, [Gump] makes his case in a voice all his own.

George PlimptonA wacky and funny nuthouse of a book.

New WomanBroad satire with serious resonances...Gump's adventures are both hilarious and bawdy....This picaresque tale will set you guffawing.

Pittsburgh PressA Huckleberry Finn­type odyssey, complete with the humor-tempered irony and insight of Mark Twain. A rollicking satire, milking laughs from our sacred cows...As much fun as a box of chocolates, but far less fattening.

Ocala Star-BannerA most gentle spirit, Forrest Gump should enter the annals of fiction as a great American hero.

Anniston StarZany, tongue-in-cheek, affectionate and wise.

Tom McGuaneA delectable and unsparing comic treat. 　　阿甘是常人眼中的弱智和白痴，但他天性善良单纯，加上天赋异禀，使他先后成为大学美式足球明星、越战英雄、世界级乒乓球运动员、摔跤选手、国际象棋大师和商业大亨，既获得肯尼迪总统的接见，约翰逊总统的授勋，甚至还无意间发现了水门事件的真相！阿甘“轰轰烈烈”的传奇一生，看似茺诞不经，其实正是五十年代到七十年代美国历史与社会的缩影，透过阿甘的眼睛，也让我们看到了世态的险恶复杂与庸俗市侩，而更觉人性真诚的可贵。　　
　　 小说语言平易而风趣，阿甘的人生感悟更是充满了哲理意味，实在值得自以为是的世人深思。
