About this listen

 At Cold Mountain Penitentiary, along the lonely stretch of cells known as the Green Mile, killers such as 'Billy the Kid' Wharton and the possessed Eduard Delacroix await death strapped in 'Old Sparky'. Guards as decent as Paul Edgecombe and as sadistic as Percy Wetmore watch over them.

But good or evil, innocent or guilty, none has ever seen the brutal likes of the new prisoner, John Coffey, sentenced to death for raping and murdering two young girls. Is Coffey a devil in human form? Or is he a far, far different kind of being?

There are more wonders in heaven and hell than anyone at Cold Mountain can imagine. In The Green Mile, Stephen King builds the tension and then delivers a revelation that will truly blow your mind.

I don’t know why it took me more than a quarter century to pick up this book but boy was it worth the wait. Such vividly written characters, they feel like I’ve always known them, worked with them, or despised them. Paul feels like an old friend and Percy makes my skin crawl. And how dearly I’d love to give John Coffey a hug. Their story is so ordinary and so fantastical, I know will be reading it over and over.

Excellent story with lovely characters, lots of nuance and feeling and the narrator has a wonderful pace and subtley of tone. Thoroughly enjoyed it despite having seen the movie and hence knowing most of the twists.
