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.
