Is it the best that a serial can be when both the MC and the reader just feels the horrible need to *rest* after reading it?

Perhaps that's what Stephen King intended, whether or not he's implying that the balance of the world is truly on a knife's edge or not, but it doesn't change the fact that this series, even when taken as the serial that it was intended, is emotionally draining.

Coffey is truly an odd Christ-figure.

Sure, I'm used to this kind of thing in literature, and SK's nice twist on it is uniquely his, so I can't complain at all, but something about this disturbs me, and it truly isn't the fact that the mythos is attached to a huge black man on death row.

Is it truly the most that the good can hope for, the hope for a little rest and peace? *sigh*

Otherwise, I think this was a good end to a good series of stories, and I'm very happy to have read it spread out as it was intended. :) A good experiment, anyway. :)

Oh good memories. Back in the days my dad gave me such a great gift. He gave me this book, part 1 and told me that from now on, I could go to the bookstore in town each month, to get the next part of the series.


So every month I ran to the bookstore and immediately delved in. Never thinking it might be better to wait till I had all of them, before reading. couldn't, even if I wanted to.



So unlike most people, I did not read the whole book in one, but i read it in 6 sessions.
I am sure I re-read the whole thing as I always did with Stephen King's books.

The only problem is, I have no clue which part is in which book, so I will give all of them the same amount of stars, and copy this review. ( )

This entire series is great as King weaves an incredible tale. ( )

This was actually one of the most interesting and captivating books that I have read from Stephen King & I highly recommend it for any King fans.

I ended up getting this book from a thrift store and normally following the rules of serial books I was only able to get the last three books for the first three were nowhere in sight. As a result I started off reading "The Bad Death of Eduard Delacroix" first and I was caught up in the story, knowing the one main aspect of the book and yet not knowing how it would end. Due to life events I was only able to get to "Night Journey". And then I was able to start over this time from the beginning and actually read the whole series.

The characters like most of King's older books are easy to get along with and have a very well-defined personality even with some of the minor characters. You are given a chance to enter a realistic world with very realistic people whether they are inmate, prison guards or the civilians who back up their men within this world.

The best part of this book is the fact that it isn't really a horror story as King is well-known for but an emotional story of the paranormal with some horror elements thrown in. Whether you are enjoying the whole novel put together or the serial novel format this will be one book you cannot and will not want to put down for the ending is just like King - unexpected. ( )

The conclusion is no surprise, everythingwas leading up to this. Paul's revelations at the end aren't surpsing either. Solid. ( )

I sat in the Georgia Pines sunroom, my father's fountain pen in my hand, and time was lost to me as I recalled the night Harry and Brutal and I took John Coffey off the Mile and to Melinda Moores, in an effort to save her life.
