I loved this book so much. SO much. It’s giving Just Mercy. It made me laugh, cry, feel nauseated, and reflect. It was horrifying and lovely and enthralling and sad all at the same time. I guess I get the Stephen King hype now!!!!

The Green Mile was a fantastic book. However, because it’s not typically the kind of story I read, I struggled through it. The movie is practically spot on, and I will continue to watch the movie again and again.
