Masterfully told and as suspenseful as it is haunting, The Green Mile is Stephen King’s classic #1 New York Times bestselling dramatic serial novel and inspiration for the Oscar-nominated film starring Tom Hanks.

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,” the lime-colored linoleum corridor leading to a final meeting with Old Sparky, Cold Mountain’s electric chair. Prison guard Paul Edgecombe has seen his share of oddities over the years working the Mile, but he’s never seen anything 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.

Every book I read of Stephen King I think it's the best he's ever done But by far and away the Green mile is the best he's ever done I found myself wanting to beat Percy to death and wanted so badly to help John Coffey The author has made the characters so real you almost feel like you were there and knew these people personally.. Even the murderer "Del" tugged at your heartstrings and who would ever believe I could or would fall in love with a mouse Thank you so much Mr King
