From Amazon.com

This novel taps into what Stephen King does best: character-driven storytelling. The setting is the small "death house" of a Southern prison in 1932. The charming narrator is an old man looking back on the events, decades later. Maybe it's a little too cute, maybe the pathos is laid on a little thick, but it's hard to resist the colorful personalities and simple wonders of this supernatural tale. As Time magazine put it, "Like the best popular art, The Green Mile has the courage of its cornier convictions ... the palpable sense of King's sheer, unwavering belief in his tale is what makes the novel work as well as it finally does." And it's not a bad choice for giving to someone who doesn't understand the appeal of Stephen King, because the one scene that is out-and-out gruesome can be easily skipped by the squeamish. The Green Mile was nominated for a 1997 Bram Stoker Award.

4.0étoiles sur 5 One of King's best, Mars 19 2007
Par Babyblue Kelly "Paperback Princess" (Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Green Mile (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm sure lot's of other people have written vast amounts on the plot of this book, so I'll try and keep it brief. For people who loved The Shawshank Redemption, King returns to writing a story about prison in the 30's. Only this time it's the death row prison, where inmates have short stays. A truly compelling story from page to page. Originally it was a serial novel, split into 6 parts. The parts are in the complete novel and while sometimes there is backtracking and reiterating it does not lessen the book's qualitites. What you have here is King writing as only he does. His ability to take the odd/supernatural and mix it with rich characters and interesting plots, is why he is such an acclaimed and loved author. I'm sure many people have seen the film version of this book and while it is one of the most faithful to his work, I still think that reading the book would be better. I read many books a year and it's rare that one can actually make me tear up, but The Green Mile made me do just that. You will not be disapointed if you read this!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Amazing!!!, Nov. 20 2006
Par Erico (British Columbia, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Green Mile (Mass Market Paperback)
The Green Mile is the first Stephen King work I have read and like an illicit drug I'm hooked on the first hit. I'd heard King was a good novelist before but I was faced a serious dilemna over the fact that I would've acquired insomnia if I had read any of his more morbid tales. Still filled with the supernatural but not so much the macabre elements of Stephen King, The Green Mile was my compromise and an excellent compromise at that.

Mainly set in 1932 at Cold Mountain penitentiary's death row the story is about a man who is sentenced to death for the rape and murder of two young girls. But as the head prison guard, Paul Edgecombe, soon finds out his newest prisoner is much more than a six foot eight black convict who can hardly string together a sentence. So much more that Edgecombe is soon convinced that John Coffey (like the drink, only not spelled the same way) is innocent of the horrible crime he is accused of commiting.

King spins his tragic tale with vivid imagery, powerful metaphors and suspenseful foreshadowing provoking not only sadness but also equally strong feelings of anger. He builds the tension gradually and this may turn off some readers but this same technique heightens the enjoyment of the action near the end of the story.

Ultimatley, The Green Mile while slow paced, is a heart rending story of an amazing man with an even more amazing gift and will always be a timeless literature classic.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A very touching, hauntingly beautiful book, Juil 20 2004

This review is from: The Green Mile (Mass Market Paperback)
I was deeply touched by this book. It is captivating and engrossing. It took me all of two days to finish. It was hard for me to actually put the book down. The story is wonderfully written and the characters are very well developed, almost so that you would think they were real people. This book made me laugh and cry all at the same time. It is different than any other Stephen King book I have ever read in the sense that is not filled with the usual horror found in most of King's works, but it none the less a haunting read, just not in the way you would think. It is one of the best books I have read in years. I would highly recommend it.
