A review by kaelaceleste
The Green Mile by Stephen King
5.0
4.5 for me!
I was excited to read this bc I know the movie is well-received but I've never seen it and didn't know anything about it. I wouldn't consider this a horror novel by any means and I was almost surprised it was a Stephen King. But I really enjoyed the novel structure and thought it was interesting how it was published in 6 parts. It was really gripping and I liked the characters a lot, more than I do in King novels sometimes (said respectfully). I expected it to feel more dense than it was but I actually thought the pacing was great for the story and I just really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to watching the movie really soon!
