The Green Mile Book 6: Coffey on the Mile

The conclusion is no surprise, everythingwas leading up to this. Paul's revelations at the end aren't surpsing either. Solid. ( )

This is a great serial novel! He does a good job of making the serial aspect work for the story. The characters are the best, you'll cry for sure! It's almost just like the movie. They are both great!! ( )

Hoo boy. If you're looking for a good cry, you'll probably get one reading this. I thought I was okay after the first heart-wrenching scene, but two or three more after that really got me going. But in a good way. The ending is reasonably satisfying, and kind of thought provoking. After all, since it's told in first person it's impossible to know for sure what happens to the narrator after the story is finished, and that kind of open-endedness is sort of neat for this sort of tale. ( )

Six months after starting (I skipped a month after mom died), I’ve come to the end of Stephen King’s serial novel, The Green Mile. I’m impressed, though this final chapter seemed anticlimactic. I haven’t read much Stephen King or horror, but I suspect anticlimactic is how I’ll read most horror. I expect awful things, then I close the book and nothing’s happened. The characters are just characters, and the words are just ink on pages. Despite good writing, I’m not sure I’ll ever feel lasting horror from a book.
