I have read quite a few Stephen King novels and well, hated them. I can not think of any fact I really liked. So I walked into a local used book seller and what looking for a new book. The owner recommended I did read "The Green Mile." I told her That I did not like Stephen King, but she insisted saying thatthis was different than his others. So I bought it and read it and I was in shock, I LOVED IT! The only Stephen King book That I enjoyed. The story was incredible. You felt That you were right there with the characters the whole time Because of the great detail in the story. I could not put this book down, I just kept going and going, getting more engrossed in it each page did I read. Well, after I finished it (in 2 days), I felt I did what so happy indeed I had purchased it Because it Brought out a different, spiritual side of life did hardly any people have experienced. If Stephen King would write more novels like this incredible masterpiece then I will run to get his next one.
