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 literally threw this book down when I got to the end. It made me so incredibly angry and had me so into the story and then BAM, done. And of course, I didn't bring the next chapter with me so I had to wait until that afternoon to read the next portion of the book. (First-world problems, I know). I'm very much enjoying revisiting 'The Green Mile' in this way.
Reader's Note: 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 book was great. I am so happy that this serialised novel is becoming interesting.
I loved Delacroix and was so sad to see him go.
This book also makes me wonder: Mr Jingles? What will happen to him now that Delacroix is set to take his final walk down the Green Mile?
Can’t wait to read the next book!

This was a brutal one, but it added a lot to the story. I am moving on to the next one right away.

Gruesome and sad book in the series. Very well written, but I think the toughest in the series of the green mile. Very graphic. I genuinely did like this book. I hope the next book will be better.
