I’ve just finished reading Stephen King’s The Green Mile. I watched the film a few months ago and loved it and just knew I had to read the book.
The Green Mile was originally published in 6 serialised books. However, the version I read was a complete book version. The only thing to remember about reading it that way is to take a break between the definate book breaks. This is just to give you chance to allow the “previously in” sections to work to full affect. I have to say the device King uses to give you a refresher works remarkable well and isn’t at all a long summary of the previous book.
I loved the book as well! It makes me sad and tugs at emotions in ways than many other books just fail to achieve.

We were out for a Fireworks party on Saturday night at our friends Darren, Gail, and their little girl Ellie. A good time was had by all… kids stayed up till late which meant we paid for it on Sunday. As usual Gail put on good food and there was plenty of booze to go around. Fantastic display of fireworks, although we want 3 out of 3 Catharine Wheels next time Darren! I think there were only a couple of stray rockets and I don’t recall any falling back on us like they did last year! 🙂
