The Green Mile: Coffey on the Mile

Summary: Part 6 in The Green Mile Serialization
Review: "Coffey on the Mile" is the longest book in the series (130+ pages), while the other five had averaged approximately 90 pages. In this sixth and final installment in The Green Mile serialization, the true identity of the twins' killer is revealed (though I won't give that away, because it's a shocker). Plus, the killer and Percy Wetmore (the evil prison guard), at last(!), get what they deserve. And as for John Coffey: well, that was just a tear-jerker. I won't give away what happens to him either. You just have to read the series--or just this book, if you want to skip the rest.

In the afterword, King points out some of his anachronisms in the series, like whether or not certain radio programs were broadcast in 1932. These "mistakes" were still left in the serial novel, as far as I can tell, even though King had considered removing them. But what was removed was this afterword, as well as the foreword in book #1 ("The Two Dead Girls"); so there were a few things altered by the end.

Summary: Great Book
Review: I am in the middle of the 3rd book in the green mile series. I love the way stephen king wrote this book in a series. He leaves it hanging at the end of each book and leaves me wanting more. I am not typically a reader but this book is great.

Summary: ONE BOOK PLEASE!!!!
Review: I eagerly anticipated the arrival of a new series every month. I walked into the grocery store just a few days ago and realized they had finally put the series into one book. Why? Was it so special that King just had to put the " Green Mile"into a series and then into one book! Give me a break! It was a really good book with a wonderful story, but next time one book will be just fine!!

Summary: An emotionally-charged climax to King's "Green Mile" series.
Review: Stephen King has produced some of the most suspenseful, entertaining, and provacative literature of our time. While King's books are inevitably horrifying on many different levels, they are also the most well-written, character-driven novels to ever grace the various bestseller lists. King's latest effort, The Green Mile serial novel, is no exception. The Green Mile is one of King's best stories -- an emotionally-charged work driven by suspense and intrigue. "Coffey on the Mile," the final installment, brings the story to an end with appropriate finality -- the most satisfying ending King has ever written! If for some reason or another you have never given Stephen King a try, pick up The Green Mile. You will NOT be disappointed

Summary: Coffey On The Mile
Review: This book is the sixth and final book of the Green Mile series. I like this book the best out of all six of the books. In this book, the main character John Coffey is getting ready to go down the Green Mile. The Green Mile is the inmate's last walk down the main hallway, which is green, to the electric chair before they die. The prison guards discovered that John in actuality didn't kill the Deterick twins, but was actually trying to save them but wasn't successful. See, the reason why John is in prison is because he was found with the two small Deterick girls, which are twins, in his arms. They were both dead in his arms all alone in the woods. So just naturally, it looked as if he was the one that had killed the twins. When John was arrested he didn't say a single word, he didn't deny it or anything. He was quite most of the time he was in prison. The prison guards found out that a previously executed inmate was the one who had killed the twins, and John was just trying to save them. John has a special power that he has for healing and bringing things back to life. He cured one of the prison guards urinary infection, brought a mouse back to life that an inmate killed, and rid the warden's wife of cancer, all just by the touch of his hands. So therefore, Coffey tried to save the little girls lives, but he couldn't. John was too late to get to them in enough time to save their lives. So he just sat holding them in his arms on the rock crying. The prison guards that knew the truth about John and asked him if he wanted them to try and get another trial for him, but Coffey declined the request. Coffey said that his time has come, and even if he was able to get out of it, he didn't think he wanted to live anymore anyways. He was sick of the way everyone treated each other and he just couldn't stand it anymore. So Coffey was executed two days after they found out he was innocent. He went quietly and cooperatively. After the time they spent with this man John Coffey, not another man like him would ever come across their presence.

Summary: Simply put...Wow
Review: With this novel, King concludes the wonderful The Green Mile series, and he does this with mastery and excellence. The anguish of Coffey's fate will bring the reader to tears, and the fact that he is going to die for a crime he did not commit is truly heartbreaking. In addition, the destinies of all the other main characters will engross the reader.

The Green Mile is a book that has captivated this reader, and I couldn't wait to continue this fantastic series and discover the newest secrets and see how the story unfolded. What King has done here is indescribable, and it can only be hoped that the movie rendition can live up to the phenomenal The Green Mile.
