Read by Frank Muller.

This novel (now complete in one volume) taps into what Stephen King does best:
character-driven storytelling. The setting is the small "death house" of a Southern
prison in 1932. The charming narrator is an old man looking back on the events, decades
later. Maybe it's a little too cute, maybe the pathos is laid on a little thick, but
it's hard to resist the colourful personalities and simple wonders of this supernatural
tale. As Time magazine put it, "Like the best popular art, The Green Mile has the courage
of its cornier convictions ... the palpable sense of King's sheer, unwavering belief in
his tale is what makes the novel work as well as it finally does". And it's not a bad
choice for giving to someone who doesn't understand the appeal of Stephen King because
the one scene that is out-and-out gruesome can be easily skipped by the squeamish.
The Green Mile was nominated for a 1997 Bram Stoker Award.
