Summary

 Masterfully told and as suspenseful as it is haunting, The Green Mileis Stephen King’s classic #1 New York Times bestselling dramatic serial novel and inspiration for the Oscar-nominated film starring Tom Hanks.

Welcome to Cold Mountain Penitentiary, home to the Depression-worn men of E Block. Convicted killers all, each awaits his turn to walk “the Green Mile,” the lime-colored linoleum corridor leading to a final meeting with Old Sparky, Cold Mountain’s electric chair. Prison guard Paul Edgecombe has seen his share of oddities over the years working the Mile, but he’s never seen anything like John Coffey—a man with the body of a giant and the mind of a child, condemned for a crime terrifying in its violence and shocking in its depravity. And in this place of ultimate retribution, Edgecombe is about to discover the terrible, wondrous truth about John Coffey—a truth that will challenge his most cherished beliefs…©1999 Stephen King, All Rights Reserved; (P)1999 Simon & Schuster, Inc., All Rights Reserved, AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster, Inc.

What the critics say

Entertainment Weekly A literary event.

I enjoyed this literary series immensely. Immediately coming off a different book in which I said to myself, "I don't think I can really get behind the consistent first person perspective", I found myself accidentally stumbling into another one. Yet Kings masterful story telling brings this series to life in a way that found me gripped by every cliffhanger, and feeling real emotion. Performed incredibly, highly recommend.

Gripping. Emotional. Masterful.

Absolutely loved everything about this experience. I honoured the original publication schedule by listening to one part per week, and I'm glad I did, because it resulted in a surprisingly different read than a regular, non-serial novel. It was more fulfilling to read it the way it was intended and I felt more in tune with the original experience. The Green Mile is emotional and touching and beautiful; I cried at times, and I'm not much of a crier. It was also horrifying, funny, macabre, frightening, infuriating, and seemingly every other emotion. I don't think I've loathed a character as much as I hated Percy, and Coffey is such a beautiful, unique, innocent character. Frank Muller had kind of an old-timey delivery, and it was perfect. Nice voice, riveting narration. Not only one of King's best works, but one of the best books ever, period.

Exceptional!

I wish I’d read/listened to this sooner. Got hooked on the characters. Such emotions for them...so well done. Excellent writing and Frank Miller’s narration is amazing (like all his other readings).

A gem

I can’t get enough of kings books. There are a number of them that are difficult to listen to on audible due to the narrators voice, but this definitely isn’t one of them. Frank Mueller’s narrating voice brings the characters and story to life with remarkable depth and nuance. The David Attenborough of audiobooks!!

Absolutely phenomenal

I knew the story was good. I had seen the movie and heard from others who had read the book. But the narration in this audiobook was phenomenal and made the audio version of this book, I think, far superior to the written medium. Mr. Frank Muller didn’t read The Green Mile, he performed it like the stage actor he was. I was so captivated by his performance and drawn in by his voices that I looked him up to learn more about him. He sadly will not be narrating any more books as he died, quite tragically, but it turns out he was one of the original audiobook narrators, narrating audiobooks starting in 1979 if I remember correctly and became the main narrator for Stephen King as well as Grisham, Le Carré and others. I will definitely be basing some of my next purchases on books that he has performed.

Narrator extraordinaire
