Welcome to Cold Mountain Penitentiary, home to the Depression-worn men of E Block. Convicted killers all, each awaits his turn to walk "the Green Mile," the lime-colored linoleum corridor leading to a final meeting with Old Sparky, Cold Mountain's electric chair. Prison guard Paul Edgecombe has seen his share of oddities over the years working the Mile, but he's never seen anything like John Coffey—a man with the body of a giant and the mind of a child, condemned for a crime terrifying in its violence and shocking in its depravity.

Muller has become the voice of Stephen King because he's perfect for King's weird characters. This plot about Death Row and the people who inhabit it calls for a weak and dying old woman, as well as a seven-foot black giant who is incarcerated for a brutal murder but is as gentle as a feather. Through tone and emphasis, Muller takes you inside the minds of both characters. The only drawback to hearing this serialized book in a set is that you won't put time between the parts as King intended by publishing the book over a period of 10 months. J.E.G.
