Publisher Description
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.

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. And in this place of ultimate retribution, Edgecombe is about to discover the terrible, wondrous truth about John Coffey—a truth that will challenge his most cherished beliefs…
Customer Reviews
A Heavy Hitting Read
Deep, dark, powerfully, emotional, poignant. Couldn’t put it down. King truly is the goat. His ability to get you emotionally invested through his character development is exceptional. Every person he introduces feels so naturally fleshed out and believable. A master of his craft.
Absolute masterpiece
One of the best books I have ever read period. I find myself filled with almost dread to read another book as it will be hard if not impossible to not compare it unfavorably to this. I write this review still dying tears from my eyes. So intense, so moving, so good. I give it my highest recommendation. Though I almost recommend not reading it so you don’t have the same fear that I do to read another.
