Prison guard Paul Edgecombe has seen his share of oddities over the years working the Mile, but he’s never seen anything like John Coffey—a man with the body of a giant and the mind of a child, condemned for a crime terrifying in its violence and shocking in its depravity.

Every book I read of Stephen King I think it's the best he's ever done But by far and away the Green mile is the best he's ever done I found myself wanting to beat Percy to death and wanted so badly to help John Coffey The author has made the characters so real you almost feel like you were there and knew these people personally.. Even the murderer "Del" tugged at your heartstrings and who would ever believe I could or would fall in love with a mouse Thank you so much Mr King
