Product Description
From Amazon
Harking back to the early days of the novel, The Green Mile is being published in six monthly installments. It's a great idea for a writer like Stephen King, famous for page-turning, nail-biting suspense. Like his earlier book The Shawshank Redemption, which became a hit movie, this one is set inside a prison; the title refers to the green-linoleum-covered corridor leading from death row to the electric chair. The narrator is an appealing prison superintendent, puzzled by the arrival of the enigmatic John Coffey, a huge, gentle, silent man accused of a double child rape-murder. Did he do it? Is the vicious guard going to do something awful, or have something done to him? Read the next installment.

Coffey's Hands continues the Green Mile excellence

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Stephen King has continued The Green Mile with the latest installment, the incredible Coffey's Hands. The examination of prison life in the 1930's is still explored, along with interpersonal frictions of the prisoners and guards, but something new has been introduced. A violent, uncaring, and evil inmate has come to Cold Mountain Penitentiary, and quickly creates anarchy. Also, the strange powers of another inmate are revealed, just prior to a visit to the home of a man that reveals more of this inmate's past. Therefore, many mystery's are solved, while new ones are created, adding to The Green Mile: Coffey's Hands excellence. Overall, King's third part of The Green Mile is another masterpiece that adds to the series.

The Green Mile,Coffey's Hands- continues the mystery of a large gentle man on death row. The prisoner seems mild,not likely to use the great power in him arms and hands. Convicted of a tragic crime, Coffey waits on death row and exhibits an unusual gift...King's Shawshank Redemption was an intimate look at prision from the prisoners viewpoint. The Green Mile uses the viewpoint of the death row guards, and no one's closer to prison life than that. More than just a dreary life of awaiting death, this story keeps you guessing and wantingto know more about Coffey--and what he means to the others on death row. Another terrific read for Stephan King fans!A series in six parts, I can't wait for the other three

Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book is an emotional roller coaster. At first we're faced with an enormous black man named John Coffey on death row-also known as the green mile- who is awaiting execution for the rape and murder of seven year old twin sisters. As the story goes on, John's God given gift to heal the sick and his telepathic powers convince the guards of his innocents. The man in charge of "The Green Mile", Paul Edgecombe is left to choose between killing one of God's Miracles and keeping his job. The ending is a real tear jerker.
