Özet
 At Cold Mountain Penitentiary, along the lonely stretch of cells known as the Green Mile, killers such as 'Billy the Kid' Wharton and the possessed Eduard Delacroix await death strapped in 'Old Sparky'. Guards as decent as Paul Edgecombe and as sadistic as Percy Wetmore watch over them.

But good or evil, innocent or guilty, none has ever seen the brutal likes of the new prisoner, John Coffey, sentenced to death for raping and murdering two young girls. Is Coffey a devil in human form? Or is he a far, far different kind of being?

There are more wonders in heaven and hell than anyone at Cold Mountain can imagine. In The Green Mile, Stephen King builds the tension and then delivers a revelation that will truly blow your mind.

Stephen King's books adapt really well to audio. I love the conversational style of his writing and unlike with a book, you have to go at the narrator's pace - no skipping ahead or skimming - and so you really get to appreciate the build up of tension and the twists and turns of the story. This is, in my view, one of King's best books, a genuinely excellent novel with a terrific story, great and very convincing atmosphere and a well drawn cast of three dimensional characters.

Frank Muller narrates the book brilliantly. He has a fantastic sense of pace and timing; distinguishes the characters superbly and he captures Stephen King's conversational style just right.

Strongly recommended - a real five star listen.

Excellent story & superbly narrated

There are few films which leave an indelible mark on you and one of those is King's The Green Mile. I remember watching this with my wife and choking up at the sheer power of this amazing and soulful tale and so I decided to get the audio book and I am pleased to say was just as blown away.

Having now read the book, I can understand why the movie version was so great. Unlike many book to movie conversions, The Green Mile didn't suffer from huge editing which left only a fraction of the story compared to the book. Sure, the book does provide us with extra detail which all works superbly. What brings this book to life is the fantastic narration. A good book can be sunk by a poor or unpleasant sounding narrator and I am sorry to say that there were some other King books I'd have liked to listen to but for the irritating drone of the narrator used. The Green Mile is that perfect marriage of powerful story with excellent narrator and it's a shame this narrator wasn't used to voice many other King novels.

Having just finished Christine which I was sadly disappointed with, The Green Mile delivers everything you'd come to expect from a Stephen King novel. The aforementioned Christine and this book are about the same length and yet I found The Green Mile just flew by while I found Christine a labour of love to get through.

There has only been one other book I've listened to on Audible that has made me well up and so this ability to move the reader by such a powerful story is rare indeed - well for a man if that doesn't sound too sexist. Just recounting some of the story and the things the characters did made me well up all over again as I told my wife. perhaps I'm too much of a softy but the power of this beautifully crafted story will touch your heart in that rare way that the best stories can.

I dare you to not love this wonderful story and have it leave you thinking about it for a long time afterward.

Powerfully Moving

I hesitated to get this since I had seen the film twice and felt Hanks was perfect as Paul. Nevertheless the reviews were encouraging so I gave it a go. Firstly the narration was exquisite and then the story so much more than the film. This is one of my best experiences with audible and worth my membership.

magnificent read

I have picked up many Stephen King audio books when at a loss what to listen to next, purely because I know he is a master storyteller and all of his books seem to translate perfectly to audio. I was not disappointed when I came upon The Green Mile.

From start to finish this title is full to the brim with characters so lovingly written and fleshed out that you can't help but care for, or hate, them as if they were real people. Even the people on Death Row become lovable to the extent that you are willing to forgive them their horrible crimes and wish they didn't have to sit in the electric chair.

I honestly cannot speak highly enough of this book. It genuinely had me wanting to call in sick to work just so I could listen some more. The narration is perfect. I couldn't imagine any other voice for any of the characters fitting quite so well as they did in this audio book.

This truly is a must for any fan of Stephen King. Well worth the price it costs and certainly worth a credit.
