Once again King writes a book that makes you think and ponder life. Wonderful metaphors and imagery. The Green Mile has my eyes wide open. My favorite character is Mr. Jingles, although that name truly gives me the creeps!I don't know how well it will translate into a movie because King's writing is so phenomenal that often the mental picture he's able to paint makes the movie pale in comparison. Is that a run-on sentence? Who cares! I absolutely LOVED this book. It's so hard to stop and take a break from reading because you feel like the characters are still going about their daily life while the book is closed. King deserves a lifetime achievement award!
