The Green Mile series is definitely the best set
of books that’s out there. This is because of the wild and
far-fetching mind of Stephen King. King is a one-of-a-kind author and the Green Mile series is one of his top books.
Since each book is shorter, they all focus on certain events and people
from the Green Mile. The
entire series revolves around a prison guard, Paul Edgecombe and each book
begins the first chapter with him in his retirement, so basically each book is
like a flashback to when Paul was working and Stephen King puts you in that
flashback. With this interesting style, King makes this series stand
apart from the rest and is just a phenomenal series to take some time to read.
These books are sci-fi and mystery and it takes its setting in a jail
during the 1930s. I’m on the final book
but didn’t read much of it yet, however this book will tell me how it all comes
to an end and its going to be a real page-turner. In the end, I think Stephen King added his
touch to this series and created a story that was never thought of or seen
before. ~ Matt D. (per. 7/8)

I saw the movie that was based on this book and thought it was one of the best dramas I had ever seen (despite being 3 hours long). However the suspense and mystery that was portrayed in the movie makes it obvious that it had to originally be the works of a great like Stephen King. - Sean Period 4

ReplyDeleteWow Matt, this series sounds very interesting. I have read other books that involve flashbacks, and liked that style of writing because it makes the story more interesting. I know Stephen King is a well respected author, and when you combine his writing skills with this particular style, it can make for a great story. How do you think the story would be different if Stephen King told it in the present, rather than as a flashback?
Actually, when King tells the story it is written as if it is currently happening, its just that at the start of each book it has Paul in his retirement then it jumps right into the story. I hope that answers your question, and I agree with how flashbacks are a great feature to any story.- Matt D. Period 7/8
DeleteWow, this actually seems like a good series even though we never thought it was in class! I love all the suspense and mystery if that is what this book is actually all about. I think I am actually going to read this book in the summer. Thanks!
