Review: Let me preface this review by saying that I did see the movie first, which I normally read the book first. This book followed the movie very well, way better than most book to movie translations. I was quite impressed because I still love the movie and I now love the book. The Green Mile will fill the reader with a sense of awe and wonderment. It will touch your heart and leave you in tears. And John Coffey really teaches you that you cannot judge based on appearances.
Synopsis: Paul Edgcombe has been working the Green Mile for years. He has walked many of the worst convicted killers down that hall, the last steps they will ever take, towards "Old Sparky." When he meets John Coffey, a giant of man, who thinks like a child and is afraid of the dark. Coffey has been convicted of heinous crime, and says nothing about his innocence or his guilt.
Miraculous things begin to happen around Coffey and on the Green Mile. Edgcombe will soon be faced with the choice of believing what should be or believing what he sees. The truth John Coffey shows him will change his life forever.
