I finished this book last week. Enjoyed reading it after seeing the movie a couple of times. The scenes in the book matched the movie. I know what John Coffey, Mr Jingles, and Sparkey look like. I'd like to try it the other way around some time. Who don't know that? Flipping the scenes, whatever that means.
Stephen is telling a great story here. I found myself turning pages several nites. In the middle of the meanness there is much kindness here. And rawness, Stephen-style. I may write raw sometime. It's wrong for me not to write. Ooops, back to the review please.
I read the book because of my respect for Stephen and because I want to write better. I imagine if you read this blog at all you want the same damn thing!
I would not pretend to talk you into this story. If you haven't seen/read it you will probably be blessed by it, like I have, more than once.
