Summary: Stephen King is still the best.
Review: As you read this series, you become involved yourself. You lovethe people Paul loves, as well as hate the ones he hates. Youare right there as he and his friends risk their jobs to save a dear friends life by taking an inmate with incredible healing powers out of the Green Mile in the middle of the night. You wonder how John Coffey knew he was going on a ride that night, and how he can heal like he can. You are hoping that when they reach their destination, that he can heal Melinda and that they can pull this off. I could not wait from the very beginning of this series for the next book, and when I complete #6, I will be very sorry to see it end. As only Stephen King can, he guides your imagination into places you did not know existed.

Summary: A Class Act Narration
Review: I've encountered this work in three different media: book, movie and audio tape. All three are excellent, but my favorite is the audio version, due to Frank Muller's excellence as narrator and story teller. He and George Guidall are the best in the business. Unfortunately Muller was involved in an automobile accident some time ago and is now incapacitated to the point he can no longer work. The audiobook is an abridgement, true, and I normally don't go in for such, yet the editors did a good job here in winnowing down the text and leaving all the important elements of the book. I notice that there is now an unabridged version, recorded by the same narrator. The Green Mile is one of King's better efforts and deeper textually than his Shawshank Redemption (his other well-known prison tale). He really excells here in terms of characterization, which can be on the thin side (no Thinner pun intended) in some of his novels. What really makes this audio experience special, though, is Muller. It's doubtful that he will be able to return to recording, which is a real shame. The Green Mile is one of the finest testaments to this great reader. Another recommendation I would urge upon listeners is his rendition of Cormac McCarthy's classic, All the Pretty Horses.

Summary: Part 5 in The Green Mile Serialization
Review: In "Night Journey," Paul Edgecombe and a couple of his guard buddies take John Coffey from his prison cell for a short time, bringing him to a woman with an inoperable brain tumor, who they hope Coffey can heal. At the beginning of this book, Paul and his buddies also discuss the rape-murder Coffey had been convicted of, but it's not sorted out until the next and final book in this series: "Coffey on the Mile."

Summary: If it's King, it's gotta be good
Review: Just paint me stupid. When I found this title in a Stephen King search, it was originally just listed as NIGHT JOURNEY #5. *duh* I failed to put 2 and 2 together and thought this was an early release of King's that wasn't yet in my collection. Luckily amazon has updated the listing to indicate that it is #5 in the GREEN MILE series. The description also states that this is of unknown binding. The one I ordered is in hard cover which is actually not that bad considering that I only have the paperback series. Order only if you are a diehard King fan who has to have everything in hard cover. I have to rate it a 5 because, hey, it's King and it's part of the GREEN MILE series which is an incredible body of writing.

Summary: Stephen King does it again.
Review: Once again Stephen King took me into his world and, asalways, I loved it. I, personally, prefer to have the entirebook at once rather than in installments. I don't have aproblem reading the end of the story only when I get to theend of the book. Waiting a month for each installment was very difficult for me, so I waited until I had all the books before I read them. Mr. King makes it so easy to see each of his characters and, also, to form the opinion of them that he wants you to form. Do yourself a favor and walk the Green Mile

Summary: Depressing, but better then 'horror."
Review: This book isn't scary; it isn't even gripping. The serial thriller turns into a murder mystery and revelations are made, but by now I've been so bored by the previous volumes, it doesn't even affect me. And if Paul Edgecombe urinates one more time, I shall scream.
