The absolute best of Stephen King Must be heard

The reader was absolutely fantastic!!! He pulled you right into the story, I felt I was sitting in the solarium of the nursery home listening to an old man weave a wondrous story of his life on the "green mile" As the story progressed each character became alive and real to me. The description of the good and evil in each of the characters was fully developed as well as felt.The Bad Death was painful to hear but at the same time wonderfully written. I loved all of the characters each for a different reason (except for Percy and Wild Bill)I was so sad when the story came to an end and wished I could erase its memory and be able to experience it again for the "first time" This series is a MUST and to get the full impact please listen rather than read it. You will never forget the rich characters and the wonders and horrors that occur. I know Mr. Jingles knew all !!!

I felt as if I were there with Eduard

Poor Del. That was the most vivid torture sequence I have ever read. I felt like I was right there watching the whole thing. Made me feel sorry for Del, despite what he had done to be there in the first place. Well, at least Percy will be out of the picture soon.

The best of the series so far!

If Sean Penn read this book before walking his last "mile" in Dead Man Walking, he wouldn't have been so brave! Of course, Stephen King ain't exactly Susan Sarandon, either!! The reader not only is walking with Eduard Delacroix as he approaches his fate, he IS Delacroix. The smells are pungent, the sight is vivid, and the end is horrific.More questions arise, however. What about the mysterious powers of John Coffey? Or the secret plan of the guards? Well, it just so happens...DARN! Have to wait for the next installment to come out for those answers

Just keeps getting better and better

This series is absolutely astounding.Obviously Stephen King's best work. Eduard's death is still so horrible you can almost feel the pain. I do hope Percy gets his in the end.

And as Eduard walked down the Green Mile, I walked with him.

As the series keep floating along, as does the tension in the room where I read these books. This time Percy, the wicked guard, goes a little too far. Probably even farther than he ever thought he could get away with. John Coffey still remains in the prison, and his guilt is beginning to be questioned by the guards. Could someone so gentle kill so easily
