Jordan,
Frank Darabont was the director who did The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile and the 2007 The Mist.
In the '80's he did do an adaptation of Stephen King's short story The Woman in the Room. It was his student film if memory serves. Could that be what you were ... ... haven't read the novella.
The Mist was made by the same of other Stephen King films such The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. >126: Ah, okay! Thanks :) I'll make a note of it and try to find The Green Mile first! --> 124
Start with The Green Mile. That's more of a down-to-earth story. Duma Key eventually goes off into the surreal which might be a turn-off if you're not already familiar with King's writing. Hearts in Atlantis would be a good choice as well although that story gets a little flakey (no ... ... King books now available on BookMooch. Personally, I'd recommend Hearts in Atlantis and The Green Mile.
Percy Wetmore from The Green Mile? ... read a bad King book that any number of 'good' ones by other writers and, no, the magic hasn't completely gone - I loved The Green Mile, actually quite enjoyed Cell (though I may e in a minority there and I don't really remember much aout any of the characters). Duma Key felt like a it ... ... books and also like you I read Tommyknockers and hated it. I put him aside for a couple of years but then picked up The Green Mile, which I loved and I got back in the groove with him. He is not as consistent as early on, I didn't care for Cell or Just After Sunset but I loved Lisey' ... "Dean Stanton, who was back on the block by then, added a penny to the pot, and I kicked one in, as well."
The Green Mile by Stephen King
"Isn't that the same one I chased?" I *loved* Duma Key - which is now my favorite.
Second favorite: Hearts in Atlantis
Third Favorite; the Green Mile
Honorary Mention: EveryThing is Eventual - short stories
It's amazing to see which different King books appeal to different people. #161 karenmarie ~ If you don't like horror but do like King, you might try The Green Mile and Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. They're both very good, with only a bit of the fantastic in The Green Mile. I also enjoyed his On Writing: a Memoir of the Craft. BTW, I listened to all ... ... go wrong with any of the earlier books mentioned above but also consider The Dead Zone, another gem!
Ellie- I loved The Green Mile! Hope you do too!
Where's BJ? ... look at, including loads of crime and thriller-type books, so if he is okay with our price (fingers crossed) I should have The Green Mile to read soon. I've not seen the film so it'll all be new for me! Green Mile ... The curious incident of the Dog in the Night-time - Mark Haddon 4.5/5
2. The Missing - Chris Mooney 3.5/5
3. The Green Mile: The Complete Serial Novel - Stephen King 3.5/5
4. Silent Night - Mary Higgins Clark 3/5
5. The Shining - Stephen King 4.5/5
6. Lisey's St ... It depends on how weird you want to get. The Green Mile is one of my favorites. It has a very slight supernatural element to it and the story just wraps around you. It's about a guard on death row and his prisoners over a time. Others are the screenplay, The Storm of the Century, Needful Things ... ... crazy when the characters do not match how I imagine them. The worst was the mother in Pet Semetary. The best match was The Green Mile. ... but I figure with everything else we will be doing, it should keep me for the duration. If not, Robbi - the daughter - has The Green Mile which I have not yet read. I don't normally do King but in a pinch------- The book I am taking is Battle Cry of Freedom and I am excited to read it ... "dont make me wear that boss...I is afraid of the dark"
John coffy the green mile ... repetitious themes and bloat in some of the dozens of King novels, everyone should read The Shining, Salem' s Lot, The Green Mile series, The Stand, The Shawshank Redemption and It at one time or another. ... in Atlantis, but thought the Dark Tower might be too sci-fi. I tend to like King more on his more realistic novels, e.g. The Green Mile, The Stand, The Shawshank Redemption. ... I want to live in Paul's town, I'm telling you. But not with Tony's parents. Eep.
So that's all for now. I'm reading The Green Mile, currently, which is just a laugh a minute :) I am reading The Green Mile for fun, Danse Macabre for the King group read, Systematic Theology: Volume 1 The Triune God for work and school, and possibly more. ... is one of my favorite Michael Crichton novels! I discover something new about that book every time I read it!
Finished The Green Mile and I can't believe it took me this long to read it for the first time. It was a FANTASTIC story, and I can't wait to read it again! 19. The Green Mile by Stephen King. Another King book I have never read.
Finished 06/03/09 #32 All that's missing is the teeth. :)
#30 I LOVED The Green Mile.

Also reading The Green Mile, which is, as usual, proving to be a very, very entertaining story from Stephen King. Not sure yet what I'm going to read after I finish Saturday...I ... ... took me this long to read, but it was time well spent. Right now, I'm working on two books: Saturday by Ian McEwan and The Green Mile by (who else?) Stephen King. I hope to get Saturday finished by Tuesday (haha), since I'm flying out to Pittsburgh on Tuesday and I don't want to risk the ... ... heard someone else speak of this book. I'll have to look up The Queen of October.
Thank you for the great reviews of The Green Mile and Crichton's Travels. I'm adding both to the wishNotebook. #46 The Green Mile - Stephen King

Maybe I'm thinking of his horrors - The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, Stand By Me and Misery weren't really horror to me. Haven't seen The Mist yet but loved the short story - please tell me the film is as good!
Stephen King Goes to the Movies is now wishlisted - ta very ... ... disagree a bit.

beatles1964 I read The Green Mile in serial form. What a psychotic form of punishment! I bought the first 2 books before leaving on vacation. Being such small books I had whipped through them in no time. I was able to find the next book while on vacation then AAAHHH I had to wait until the next three were ... I too loved the movie versions of The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. I also love "Stand By Me" and The Stand. I first saw It when I was maybe 6 or 7 and it pretty much scarred me for life.

Yeah, but the character in question was a she.
I was thinking maybe Dolores Claiborne but that's a total guess as I've so far only seen the movie. (Very good movie BTW.) Is it The Green Mile?
im thinking of the prison connection. Haven't read much of Stephen King, but really liked The Green Mile. The character sketch of even the mouse was was quite amazing and I guess its one of his less dark works (when you compare it to something like The Shining) ... I had it all figured out by the 2nd book - but there was an interesting plotline in this one - not unlike Stephen King's The Green Mile with a healer that takes on the disease or illness of the one he heals. ... work without an ISBN and use a tag back to the listing. There are also instances where a work is published in serial form (The Green Mile) and then sold as a book. LT has been able to handle that one since each book was issued with its own ISBN, which is not the case with many older works.
I ... ... I just didn't ever feel as connected to the characters as I did in some of the others. Also, it kept reminding me of The Green Mile by Stephen King. However, I liked it enough to pass it on to two others so far. LisaLynne: I read The Green Mile in installments when it came out too - my then-boyfriend and I took turns reading it aloud to each other, which was a lot of fun. 139. The Green Mile is a very good book, one of my favorites by King. #137 - I'm assuming you mean The Green Mile by Stephen King, since I don't know of any other books by that name...what did you think of it? I just bought it a few weeks ago, and I'm trying to decide where to put it in my reading list. Since I finally finished War and Peace and also The Green Mile, I wanted to take on some lighter reading for a bit. I'm working on the Wednesday Sisters and The Age of Innocence.
A little bit of diversity. ... but now that I have that out of my hair, I can start reading less complicated and shorter books.
I also finished the Green Mile.
