The green mile, are a set of books which came out every month about a prison. This certain one I think is the best, I happen to have all the green mile books and have read them all, they are all great but this one is a must read. But to understand and enjoy this book you must have the complete set which you can buy from Amazon.co.uk who happen to be cheaper than the shops. Another good thing is the price, you pay around £1.50 for a book which is 90 pages long, there is six novels to buy, and to buy a book six novels thick will work out more expensive than just buying six green miles. What a great offer for a great book.

The absolute best of Stephen King Must be heard
23 April 1999
Format:Paperback
The reader was absolutely fantastic!!! He pulled you right into the story, I felt I was sitting in the solarium of the nursery home listening to an old man weave a wondrous story of his life on the "green mile" As the story progressed each character became alive and real to me. The description of the good and evil in each of the characters was fully developed as well as felt.The Bad Death was painful to hear but at the same time wonderfully written. I loved all of the characters each for a different reason (except for Percy and Wild Bill)I was so sad when the story came to an end and wished I could erase its memory and be able to experience it again for the "first time" This series is a MUST and to get the full impact please listen rather than read it. You will never forget the rich characters and the wonders and horrors that occur. I know Mr. Jingles knew all !!!

The best of the series so far!
4 July 1996
Format:Paperback
If Sean Penn read this book before walking his last "mile" in Dead Man Walking, he wouldn't have been so brave! Of course, Stephen King ain't exactly Susan Sarandon, either!!
The reader not only is walking with Eduard Delacroix as he approaches his fate, he IS Delacroix. The smells are pungent, the sight is vivid, and the end is horrific.
More questions arise, however. What about the mysterious powers of John Coffey? Or the secret plan of the guards? Well, it just so happens...DARN! Have to wait for the next installment to come out for those answers

Part 4 in The Green Mile Serialization
28 April 2003
Format:Paperback
Obviously, by the title, prison inmate Eduard Delacroix is electrocuted in this book. Unfortunately, it's at the hand of Percy Wetmore, the prison guard who's been bullying Eduard from the beginning. He's the one who sabotages the execution, giving Eduard a painfully long-drawn-out death. This scene is rather gruesome and will remind readers that this is still Stephen King writing, even though The Green Mile isn't King's usual horror fare.
While Eduard dies, though, Mr. Jingles is "resurrected" by John Coffey, after Percy had stepped on him in the previous book, "Coffey's Hands." Like the sudden endings in most of these books, this one has another good cliffhanger, in regards to Coffey's innocence. These sudden endings can be aggravating, but they were a very good marketing technique at the time of publishing--to keep the loyal reader addicted for the next installment, especially for the following two: "Night Journey" (#5) and "Coffey on the Mile" (#6). However, since the complete serial novel has since been published, I'd recommend getting that one instead.
