A Class Act Narration, Mar 20 2003
By Bruce Kendall "BEK" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 05 Night Journey (Audio Cassette)
I've encountered this work in three different media: book, movie and audio tape. All three are excellent, but my favorite is the audio version, due to Frank Muller's excellence as narrator and story teller. He and George Guidall are the best in the business. Unfortunately Muller was involved in an automobile accident some time ago and is now incapacitated to the point he can no longer work. The audiobook is an abridgement, true, and I normally don't go in for such, yet the editors did a good job here in winnowing down the text and leaving all the important elements of the book. I notice that there is now an unabridged version, recorded by the same narrator.
The Green Mile is one of King's better efforts and deeper textually than his Shawshank Redemption (his other well-known prison tale). He really excells here in terms of characterization, which can be on the thin side (no Thinner pun intended) in some of his novels.
What really makes this audio experience special, though, is Muller. It's doubtful that he will be able to return to recording, which is a real shame. The Green Mile is one of the finest testaments to this great reader. Another recommendation I would urge upon listeners is his rendition of Cormac McCarthy's classic, All the Pretty Horses.

Stephen King is still the best., Aug 30 1996
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Night Journey (The Green Mile No. 5) (Paperback)
As you read this series, you become involved yourself. You lovethe people Paul loves, as well as hate the ones he hates. You
are right there as he and his friends risk their jobs to save
a dear friends life by taking an inmate with incredible healing
powers out of the Green Mile in the middle of the night. You
wonder how John Coffey knew he was going on a ride that night,
and how he can heal like he can. You are hoping that when they
reach their destination, that he can heal Melinda and that
they can pull this off. I could not wait from the very beginning
of this series for the next book, and when I complete #6, I will
be very sorry to see it end. As only Stephen King can, he guides
your imagination into places you did not know existed.

Stephen King does it again., Sep 9 1996
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Night Journey (The Green Mile No. 5) (Paperback)
Once again Stephen King took me into his world and, asalways, I loved it. I, personally, prefer to have the entire
book at once rather than in installments. I don't have a
problem reading the end of the story only when I get to the
end of the book. Waiting a month for each installment was very difficult for me, so I waited until I had all the books before I read them. Mr. King makes it so easy to see each of his characters and, also, to form the opinion of them that he wants you to form. Do yourself a favor and walk the Green Mile
Listmania!
