Summary: A great book
Review: This was one of the best books that i have ever read before. It has every detail that you could think of. The thing that i like about the book is that he is telling the story and it keeps going back and forward. The best part of the book is that it does not tell you when he is going to die or what is going to happen to him.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nick Trubee's 4th period book review of the Green Mile
Review: This is a great book if you like books about prison or mystery books. The book lets you think about what is giong to happen next; it's not predictable. There are many climaxes that are very exciting. They make you worry for the characters. I could'nt put it down because I had to find out what was giong to happen next. At the prison, you will experience what it was like to be on death row in 1932. You will learn what the inmates went through on their time on the mile. Thinking about their execution date. While Paul Edgecombe is working on the mile, a very large and gental man comes to the mile. His name, John Coffey, like the drink but not spelled the same.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Green Mile
Review: This book was very interesting and indulging to read. The book had some very emotional scenes. The book was really funny when Percy chases the mouse around the green mile. But at times it is also sad to think all of those guys are on death row, it makes prison life seem so delicate and meaningless.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: The book and the movie almost match, though I like the movie ending better. The book is absolutely worth the investment of time in reading it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Green Mile
Review: The book "The Green Mile" was the best book I have ever read. In deed I have never gotten so into a book. I'm not one to read a lot but this book was hard to put down. The book is about a guy named John Coffee(who was put in prison for the murder of two girls). The book basicly shows his life when he walked into the prison all the way up to his death by the Electric Chair.I'm not going to go into much detail about the book, you will just have to read it yourself. I liked the book so much I might just read it again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome!
Review: "The Green Mile" by Stephen King is absolutely terrific. An awesome read. He evoked a strong emotion in me for executing John Coffey, but after all, that is only the mark of a truly great writer. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. The movie's almost as good!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One Of The Best
Review: I am a student in Gr 10. read this book for a project and I thought it was excellent. It had suspense and all the other things that make a Stephen King book great. Keep up the good work Mr. King.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stephen King At His Best
Review: Great story, great characters, a moving storyline, and just a plain wonderfull world to indulge yourself into.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A well-deserved five stars
Review: 'The Green Mile' is perhaps one of the finest novels yet by one of the world's greatest storytellers; by turns warmly human and shatteringly horrific, and totally unputdownable from first page to last.

In 1996, Stephen King decided to reach into the past both with the presentation of the material and with the content of The Green Mile itself. Like Charles Dickens before him, he serialized the work, publishing one episode a month, without having finished it beforehand. This 'entertainment in installments' method created a sensation and, between March and August 1996, it seemed as if everyone was 'walking The Green Mile'. Bear in mind, however, that this concept would probably have failed if the tale itself was substandard. King went to great lengths to ensure that it was not.

The Green Mile (here complete in one volume) taps into what Stephen King does best: character-driven storytelling. The story begins slowly, but it's deliberate, not sluggish, as King sets the grim scene in a depressing version of Shawshank Prison. As with all King novels, his characters are well drawn and their lives are neatly sketched. Then: "Lights. Camera. Action." From what was part 3 of the serialization ("Coffey's Hands") King charges through with an unstoppable story brimming with insight and surprise. It is not until the very end of the original part 6 ("Coffey on The Mile") that the story once again slows to allow readers to breathe a little.

The ending of The Green Mile is perhaps King's saddest (with the possible exception of Insomnia) though it is still one of King's best recent novels, rich in detail and character. Nothing is ever what it should be, and there are little surprises (and some pretty big ones!) at every turn. A highly recommended read, even if you do lose the fun of the serialization as it happened.
