Review
I liked having six separate parts combined into one audiobook. Each new section felt fresh with a new plot element, and King helps reset the scene from where he left off before. The characters are all well developed and none of them are too outlandish or over-the-top. Even the antagonist. That was great.
I have a solid love/hate relationship with Mr. King, but I loved The Green Mile Audiobook Free. Seriously, this is my favorite book I’ve read from him. Go read it if you haven’t already. And watch the movie because it’s a classic on its own.
And, thank you, Stephen King, for a beautiful first date with my local library. I hope our future encounters are this incredible.
