Dans cet épisode on découvre la rouerie et le vice de Bill Wharton, un nouveau détenu du bloc E. En effet ce dernier n'est pas très coopératif et semble bien décidé à embêter les gardes avant d'être envoyé à la chaise électrique. Il est très violent et piège les gardes à plusieurs reprises, les poussant à devenir très vigilants. Ainsi chacun essaye de ne pas lui laisser la possibilité d'être violent en évitant le contact et en l'isolant au maximum. Les gardes ont recourt à la camisole de force à...more
Oh good memories. Back in the days my dad gave me such a great gift. He gave me this book, part 1 and told me that from now on, I could go to the bookstore in town each month, to get the next part of the series.
So every month I ran to the bookstore and immediately delved in. Never thinking it might be better to wait till I had all of them, before reading. couldn't, even if I wanted to.
So unlike most people, I did not read the whole book in one, but I read it in 6 sessions.

King waits until his third volume (of six) to get underway with the development of his main character. Such is the way of Stephen King. He creates an enigma in the enormous, seemingly gentle giant who was convicted of the most heinous crime our society knows. It is in this installment that we get the notion of something, "divine" occurring in Hell's waiting room.

Man oh man, does this one end on a cliff-hanger. Granted, I’ve seen the movie so I know (more or less) what happens, but it’s been so many years that I’d forgotten much of it. It’s at this point that Edgecomb starts to doubt Coffey’s guilt and Percy starts to go over the edge. You can feel the tension build.
I love this story and it took me less than a hour to read. This is in the original dime store novel format that King had intended it to be released as so in essence it took 6 months of torturous tenterhooks it took me to read the book "The Green Mile". Would I do it again - HELL YES! I couldnt imagine reading it any other way
Another compelling chapter in The Green Mile story - this is shaping up to be one of King's more interesting works. It ends with another cliffhanger, and it's one that will hit you in the gut. It's so much fun to read a serialized novel like this that it's a wonder more authors or publishers don't try it.
I wish that i could slow down the reading of these superb books! I know the movie so well, so it is not like I have to read to find out what happens next, it is just that they are so perfectly wonderful I cannot wait! I did wait a long time between 1 and 2 but now I am compulsive!
This was another great addition to the Green Mile series. I love how the beginning starts off with Paul in his old days discussing what made him think of certain occurances on the Mile, and how it made him remember that he needed to write about it and to not forget to include it in this story he is writting. Also I can't believe what part this section of the book leaves off at! It completely leaves you hanging in a most desparate part, where if this was when the books first came out and I was re...more

So far, this part is my favorite. For what-ever reason, it struck me that this would make a good graphic novel or something. I don't know, I just like the plot here. And I love how ridiculous and annoying some of the characters can be. But I don't like the ending. I loved Mr. Jingles!
Part of the cruelty of the story in this 3rd part is emerging, every moment is getting more interesting...

This is the third small book and we get introduced to the cell block and more about the killer.
A good horror read.

Una novela por entregas buenísima!
Una historia muy original, tierna, misteriosa y a ratos dura.
No me extraña que la película (bastante fiel al libro) sea tan buena.

Another arrival on death row, and we learn some interesting things about Coffey. As other people have said, it ends on a serious cliffhanger. An enjoyable series.
The best way to read the Green Mile is to wait a month between books. Seriously.
It's even better if you can find a friend or two who will follow the same schedule.

King had me all the way on this one. Best part: he didn't know where he was going, either, when he put out these serial novels. A fun ride!
Had I been reading these as they were published I'd be on edge waiting for book 4 good thing I'm behind the times reading these!
I'm not reviewing the book, just the book description, His name is "Paul Coffey" Which is wrong, his name is "John"

Green Mile book 3: Coffey's Hands: The Green Mile, part 3 (Green Mile) by Stephen King (1996)
Creepy.. and this is the one Mr. Jingles dies. Silly I know but he makes you care about a mouse.
part three opens up the story further and Steven King continues his brilliance
I don't have book #4 of this series right now, and that's really a shame because I really really really want to read book #4 right now. This series has me hooked.

“Later, going home, I realized they didn't look alike at all; what made them seem to was the aftermath of stress and the lingering of sorrow. It's strange how pain marks our faces, and makes us look like family.”
