A review by ssaba
The Green Mile by Stephen King

2.0

I DID NOT like this book. And I’ll try to summarise what I didn’t like in the following lines.

1. This book was written in a very descriptive manner. Which I did not enjoy.

2. This book is too long. It could have been easily 250 pages rather than 600.

3. It rambles too much about the mouse, I actually got mad whenever I read the name “Mr. Jingles”.

4. Also, when he spells the words for the character with an accent it was excruciatingly difficult to comprehend what they were saying.

5. There quite honestly nothing positive in this book, not a single “Horay” or “yay”.


Reading this novel was full of ups and downs. At first, it was great, but then it got lousy, then it got good again, and then it got worse. For me personally, I think a book should be mostly either exceptional or acceptable to get rated higher than 2 stars. And this book was not it.
