I love to read crime or mystery novels. I'm a big fan of Stephen King. He's a master of suspense. Stephen King is a prolific author. He has written many books including some that have been adapted for the silver screen.
I enjoyed the Green Mile because it follows the trial of an unusual hero - a 7 foot black man, John Coffey, who has strange healing powers. He is falsely accused of raping and killing a girl and is being held on death row. The story focuses on two other prisoners, both murders, and the death row guard. It is told by narrator Paul Edgecomb, the chief of the guard. The book was gripping and intense as you read about Coffey's encounters 
with the hard-edged inmates and their pet mouse Mr. Jingles. It reminded me of the classic To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, which had a similar affect on me when I read it at school. The Green Mile has an extremely emotional end which, of course, made me cry. You should read the book before seeing the movie (if you haven't already!).
Check out this blog (Books I Have Read). It is devoted to all the books the maker has read. He writes a short book review for each book. Write a book review of a novel you have recently read and include a picture of the book.
