Summary: STEPHEN KING SHOULD WRITE THIS WELL ALWAYS!
Review: Was an early King fan and lost interest with all the Horror books he was writing. He appeared to have lost his edge, Bag of Bones was highly recommended but found predictable and boring. My Aunt saw this movie and highly recommended it, so I bought the book. The Horror in this book is mankind.

The intensity kept you reading but not too fast so you didn't miss anything. Lots of deep thought and emotion, not a surface book. If King wrote more books like this I would read them.

Paul, Brutus and John Coffey are wonderfully interwoven. Americans have gotten so spoilt and soft it would do them good to read the truth, even if it says "fiction" on the book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Worth the time it takes to read.
Review: The first two or three books tend to drag out the storyline resulting in boredome, but the last half of the book will keep you interested. One of the best endings I've ever read by Mr. King.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Green Mile
Review: I think the Green Mile by Stephen King is one of the best, most thrilling with suspens books he has ever written. It has been out for a while and I have read the book dozens of times. I am still in school Middle School that is and a I have read. It was easy to read and it only took me 2 weeks. It was so good I never put it down. I cant tell you how many times I got in trouble, because I was reading it at the dinner table(even with guest). It was so diffrent from the world I knew. It led me thinking what would happen next. It shocked and yet saddened me, but overall it was a GREAT book. It was so powerful in the meaning of what it was like then. Like I said this book was one of the best books that Stephen King has written.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: cannot be put away once you started reading
Review: This is the first King's story I read. I saw the movie Shawshank Redemption first and cannot help buying another one to read. The green mile is really easy to read and to follow. Those stories are so real and those simple words expressed far more emotions that I cannot describe. I was really horrified by the section of the day when Ed Del walks the green mile by Percy Wetmore, I was reading it on the subway and missed the statoin and carried all the way to Harlem, that was about the time I can not continue after I found out why the sponge was left dry...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: King is the greatest writer of all times, once again.
Review: The detail makes you feel as if you are in there with each and every one of them. John Coffeey is a great addition,making you feel the fear he is feeling, for the way he is being treated. It really keeps you coming back for more page after page. I have been a King fan for over 20 years and I have not ever been disapointed and this was one of the best for keeping the twist and turns coming. It felt as if I was walking to the chair with Coffeey and could feel the sweat and pain he was feeling. His detail of the surroundings can give you chills all the way down your spine.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than the Movie!
Review: Stephen is always on target with painting the picture. This book takes you first back in time and then into a world of living in a prison on death row that most of us are only fortunate enough to read about. If you saw the movie, read the book. It's GREAT!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Boring and predictable
Review: I truly hated the book, which biases my opinion. The main character is not believable, and the story is very predictable -- you need not read past the first half of the book to know it all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: STEPHEN KING DOES IT AGAIN!
Review: This story truly shows what a talented writer Stephen King really is. It is about time he gets the credit he deserves. This book ranks up there with Shawshank RedemPtion, who many people having never read the book but saw the movie, are surprised that Stephen King wrote it. I have been a fan of his from his Bachman days, and have not been disappointed yet. The Green Mile reads easy and smooth, and yet involves so many different venues that evoke an array of strong emotions. footnote: His wife is also a talented writer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Non Stop Emotions
Review: John Coffee is now one of my al time favorite characters in any ficton novel that I have read! I had times of tears and laughter while reading this book for the struggles that each character goes through. The emotions that you feel for John Coffee are as if he truly is a real human being. Stephen King does an outstanding job on letting us never forget the characters in this book for the rest of our lives!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Painfully good and bitterly sad
Review: The Green Mile is less a single story than several, set around two main characters on Death Row: one outside the bars, one inside. Paul Edgecombe, an experienced prison guard, watches John Coffey, a huge black prisoner condemned for the rape and murder of two young girls. As he waits for Coffey's execution, Edgecombe must deal with Eduard Delacroix, who meets a more-than-usually horrific end in the electric chair, the strange mouse, Mr. Jingles, who seems smarter than some of the prisoners, Wild Bill Wharton, a young psychopath who makes their lives a living hell, and Percy Wetmore, a vicious and pitiful colleague who Edgecombe could easily do without. When Coffey miraculously heals Edgecombe's urinary infection, and later Mr. Jingles, he soon suspects the man has been wrongly imprisoned.

This is a stirring tale, maybe predictable in places but with stunningly unexpected passages to make up for it. Some parts make you cringe - when Mr. Jingles is hurt, and when Delacroix is killed, I won't say how - and some make you want to cry in frustration, particularly towards the end. A magnificent story which only loses a little in its transfer to a single novel. Classic.
