Really enjoyed this King novel. The story was sad and compelling. John Coffey’s character couldn’t have been anything more than a gentle giant, but it showed he was progressively getting exhausted with trying to defend himself to others, and alas, he couldn’t kill anyone else with his kindness….His presence truly made an impact on so many people he came in contact with. King really set the scene with this novel, I felt every pain injustice he wrote. I also really enjoyed the religion aspect of this!!
