And it turned out to be of his finest yarns, tapping into what he does best: character-driven storytelling. The setting is the small "death house" of a Southern prison in 1932. The Green Mile is the hall with a floor "the color of tired old limes" that leads to "Old Sparky" (the electric chair). The charming narrator is an old man, a prison guard, looking back on the events decades later. <p> Maybe it's a little too cute (there's a smart prison mouse named Mr. Jingles), maybe the pathos is laid on a little thick, but it's hard to resist the colorful personalities and simple wonders of this supernatural tale. 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 (it involves "Old Sparky") can be easily skipped by the squeamish. <p> <I>The Green Mile</I> won a 1997 Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel; and Tom Hanks stars in a film of the novel by Frank Darabont, the director of <I>The Shawshank Redemption</I> (from King's collection <I>Different Seasons</I>). <I>--Fiona Webster</I> 15599 1 9 1996 The Green Mile Book Box Set total:16140|5:7559|4:5582|3:2478|2:426|1:95| 16140 68504 18710 750 11566 0451933028 9780451933027 12822 537 4.24 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166480212m/11566.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11566.The_Green_Mile_Book_Box_Set 5 3 false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 23 11:55:37 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 30 18:38:54 -0800 2007 more...]]> 11566 0451933028 9780451933027 12822 537 4.24 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166480212m/11566.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11566.The_Green_Mile_Book_Box_Set 4 1 false Fri Jun 27 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 27 02:52:39 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 27 03:09:30 -0700 2008 more...]]> 85424 0671041789 9780671041786 2107 109 4.24 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171059931m/85424.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/85424.The_Green_Mile 5 1 false Sun Apr 20 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 05 12:55:04 -0800 2008 Tue Apr 29 15:59:31 -0700 2008 more...]]> 11566 0451933028 9780451933027 12822 537 4.24 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166480212m/11566.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11566.The_Green_Mile_Book_Box_Set 5 1 false Wed Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Fri Oct 26 12:38:49 -0700 2007 Fri Oct 26 13:03:36 -0700 2007
