rballenger's review against another edition
4.0
Type of read: Weekend/Lunch time read.
What made me pick it up: King is a favorite of mine and at a recent visit to our McKay's Bookstore I found the entire 'The Green Mile' series in all of its beautiful short story glory.
Overall rating: I read 'The Two Dead Girls' in one sitting and was incredibly mad at myself that I hadn't brought the second book in the series as well (we were traveling). I think that says all that needs to be said about the start of 'The Green Mile' series. I also fully admit, I know I'm biased when it comes to books by Stephen King, they have been and always will be a favorite of mine. They are one of the first authors I look for when we go to bookstores and I absolutely love the fact that many of their books can perfectly fit on my person (either in my pocket, purse, or backpack) for everyday and extended travel.

This was one of the first books I ever bought myself, at age 12. As I was already a King fan I loved the idea of these 'little' books. So much so that I pounced on the consequent ones every month.
Great, easy reading and I still own those same books now, 15yrs later.

I've wanted to read 'The Green Mile', and I recently found out that King published the book in serial form. How Dickens used to do it. I was sold, so I tracked down the originals. Story-wise, so far, it's great!
