Hands down one of my favorite book of all time. Watching the movie does little to take away from how well this story is written and my ability to be fully engulfed in each character's story.

What a wonderful, disturbing, scary Stephen King novel!

The Green Mile follows a man named Paul Edgecomb. He is a security guard of E block which takes place in an old Tennesee Penitentiary. There is some very, super disturbing stuff in this book. This is also made into a movie!

The Green Mile is probably one of the more messed up Stephen King novels. It is really good!

IT'S TOO SAD. 

As with most of King's books, it's massive and slow and building up to something more. But the ending and what this all does and what it did and and and AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 

I was crying on the bus reading this in the 9th grade.
