Summary: The Green Mile: The Complete Serial Novel
Review: The Green Mile was a revolutionary publishing concept in 1996-a modern serialization of a gothic novella in six Charles Dickens-style installments about death row in a Depression-era prison. The plot involves a guard on death row, an inmate convicted of killing two young girls, & a mouse that may have supernatural powers. Here together for the first time in a mass-market format, are the six volumes that make up The Green Mile.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A DEFINITE PAGE-TURNER
Review: This is the only book that I did not wish to finish until its completion. Engrossing from the first page to the last, King has yet to top himself in the storytelling department.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great story and characters
Review: Sad but great story and characters.

Summary: Very Awesome and exciting Book
Review: Read this history-making serial novel -- from cliffhanger to cliffhanger -- in its entirety.

When it first appeared, one volume per month, Stephen King's The Green Mile was an unprecedented publishing triumph: all six volumes ended up on the New York Times bestseller list -- simultaneously -- and delighted millions of fans the world over.

Welcome to Cold Mountain Penitentiary, home to the Depression-worn men of E Block. Convicted killers all, each awaits his turn to walk the Green Mile, keeping a date with "Old Sparky," Cold Mountain's electric chair. Prison guard Paul Edgecombe has seen his share of oddities in his years working the Mile. But he's never seen anyone like John Coffey, a man with the body of a giant and the mind of a child, condemned for a crime terrifying in its violence and shocking in its depravity. In this place of ultimate retribution, Edgecombe is about to discover the terrible, wondrous truth about Coffey, a truth that will challenge his most cherished beliefs...and yours.

Summary: Not sure what all the excitement was about
Review: Its a good read, but not that great. The story just didn't connect with me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A very entertaining read
Review: To put it pretty simply, "The Green Mile" is a sweet book. I found it to be incredibly enjoyable and fast. The six hundred or so pages in the book fly. King, as usual, does a spectacular job of telling a good story, and of developing unforgettable characters. He gets the reader to feel cmpasiion for some and pure hatred towards others, and this is a great story. King takes a break from horror for this one, and focuses more on the almost feel-good kind of supernatural, and parts of the story just take you right off your feet. I definitely recommend this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a truly great novel
Review: i really liked this book. I liked it so much i would ask my father to wake me up 2:00 in the morning so I can read it. This was the first Stephen King book I have read and if all his other books are as good as this one I can't wait to read them. WARNING: you will hate percy wetmore and if you are sensitive this book will make you cry

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Green Mile a fun-packed book
Review: The green Mile was the best book i ever read i would recommend it for any one who doesnt like to read books. I hate reading and the book may be a little long but Stephen King wrote a great book. So when you are bored just sit down and read the green mile.

Summary: Should have been abridged
Review: Don't get me wrong the book is in itself one of the more captivating books I've read in a while but the fact that it was 536 pages discouraged me at times eary on in the book. The feeling and mood of the book are rather easy to pick up form an early stand point in the book and the characters seem real many times throughout the entire book and you can almost sympathize with the character's feelings and emotions towards the prisoners. All in all the book has a lot of history within the covers and the fact that he reviews what happened in the last chapter with the first page of the next makes it easy to know what's going on in the book and helps you not forget what happened if you're forced to put the book down.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Could've been a 5
Review: Stephen King out did himself on this one. The book is a little over five hundered pages long! That is way too long. If King cut out about one hundered pages of repeat it could've been a 5. Although it was a little long the book still managed to have a great story. I especially enjoyed the way he designed his characters to make you feel what they are going through and how they really feel. He made us want to get up on our feet and fight for John Coffey, made us want to kill Percey and feel for Paul who knew what really happend to those poor little girls. Another thing I enjoyed was the book compared to the movie, the book really adds a lot of detail you just don't find in the movie. All in all it was a great book minus the enormous length of the book I would give it a 5.
