The Green Mile by Stephen King

Just finished reading The Green Mile by Stephen King. Not even sure what to say. Speechless.

Quickie Amazon Summary:
Prison guard Paul Edgecombe has seen his share of oddities in his years working the Mile. But he’s never seen anyone 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. In this place of ultimate retribution, Edgecombe is about to discover the terrible, wondrous truth about Coffey, a truth that will challenge his most cherished beliefs...and yours.

My first Stephen King experience and it was just incredible. A fantastic ending for a harsh, unforgiving plot. It had just the right amount of character development, particularly on the minor characters. It was a puzzle of a book, and by the end, all the pieces fit together nicely.

Rating: 10/10
