I'm not a King fan, but this series was great! The Green Mile represents the last walk taken by condemned prisoners. Is John Coffey a vicious murder of children, or a gentle giant wrongfully accused? Set in 1932, this story of murder, mystery and miracles is told from the point of view of a prison guard.
Helpful Score: 3
This is the first volume of the story of John Coffey who was caught with two dead children in his arms. He is not an ordinary man. After reading it, I couldn't wait for the next volume.
Helpful Score: 2
I've always loved Stephen King's stories, but also had a difficult time getting thru his books because of the detail he always puts in them...so I usually wait for the movie versions, which I did in this case too. So far, the story is following the movie to a tee and hasn't dragged or become bogged down by details. I'm impressed.
Helpful Score: 2
The beginning of the story where John Coffey gains insight into his life in prison. Very good book
Helpful Score: 1
Sister's are killed in the depression era and the killer does not even understand their brutal deaths. This story is told from the perspective of the death row superintendent as he sits in a nursing home.
some people may not realize that Stephen King's blockbuster The Green Mile started as an experiment...
He wanted to return to the old serial style stories that were published in magazines in his own boyhood. This book, The Two Dead Girls is the beginning of that experiment.
At less than 100 pages, this book begins the story of a man, a mouse, a prison, and two dead girls...

A great way to start the series
This was an okay book. It's a very short read.
As always Stephen King keeps us with our eyes glued to the pages.
They were sisters, and the picture-perfect image of innocence. No one understood their brutal deaths, not even the man who killed them.
A very good start on this story.
Great series. All six books are a great read!
In typical Steven King fashion, story keeps you on the edge of your seat.
This story,told in six small books, will take your breath away!! Mr. King has his finest hour in these pages.
The first part of the serial thriller
They were sisters, and the picture perfect image on innocence. No one understood their brutal deaths, not even the man who killed them. But John Coffey is about to gain a new insight, about his life in prison, and about the one man who will walk him down that green mile...toward destiny.

THIS VERSION OF THE GREEN MILE COMES IN A SERIES OF 6. I WILL ONLY POST THE 1ST BOOK, BUT THE PERSON INTERESTED WILL RECEIVE ALL SIX BOOKS. I JUST DON'T THINK IS FARE TO POST ALL SIX BOOKS IF THEY'RE A PART OF ONE BOOK.
I have all six of these. So when you order this one you get all included
