Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Among their films were *The Shawshank Redemption*, the *Before trilogy, *The Green Mile*, *Michael Clayton*, etc.
  • The Green Mile. I think Stephen King does a lot of books with a great ensemble cast but I think Brutus (in particular), Harry, Dean, and Percy are just as compelling as Paul, John Coffey, and Wild Bill.
  • My pediatric orthodontist had volumes 1 and 4 of The Green Mile. I read the first one over and over again.
  • John Coffey, The Green Mile. I have rarely cried so hard at a book (or film). His character pulled at my heart, and pops into my mind now and then.
  • He also nailed The Green Mile by King.

Cons

  • Obvious but the Green Mile is pretty short
  • Percy Wetmore- The Green Mile

I loved it and it broke my heart. ... I got really attached to the characters in this novel and I have another book lined up to read, and this may sound weird but I really don’t even feel ready to move on from this book yet. I liked it that much.

"The Green Mile" movie isn't necessarily better, but IMO does an amazing job adapting the books to the big screen.
