I watched the movie "The Green Mile" last night on TV. I am thinking about reading the book. Tashmere Send a noteboard - 27/09/2009 11:40:35 PM
Have you read it? What did you think about it?

I found the movie riveting and rich. Usually the book is better. Is this so in this case?

I watched the movie on the Bravo channel and I suspect they edited out some language and violence which,for me, made it that much more impressive and ...palatable. I think that graphic violence would have detracted from the movie in my case. As it was I was left thinking but without ugly scenes I wanted to scrub out of my mind.

I have only read tiny bits and pieces of Stephen King and don't know what to expect from his books.

Are the GFT or NGFT?
