Sean’s comments from the F 16 Junior English group.

The Green Mile one of Stephen King's best novels is based around a prison but specifically the E Block of Cold Mountain Penitentiary. E block also referred to as The Green Mile because of the color of its floor is where the convicts would go to eventually die at the hands of Old Sparky (an electric chair). The story is thrilling, detailed, and a definite page turner. It goes so in depth with characters that one feels like they could know them. The story follows Paul Edgecombe’s experience as the E block head supervisor with John Coffey. A goliath amongst men standing at 7 feet tall. Accused of rape and murder he joins the E block crew and they soon witness spectacular abilities of Coffey. The story is incredible and creates a second world for the reader to escape into. It immerses you in a world of crime, love, pain, sadness, and the question of what is fair and what isn’t. I really recommend this book if you're someone who has a hard time starting and finishing a book.
