Review by Nick Y.
Who would like this book? I recommend this book for teenagers 14 years or older. There is some foul language here and there, and the story is very dark and takes place in a prison. But overall it is a great novel about friendship and mystery. Enjoy!
The goods on this book: Paul Edgecombe has seen many criminals die through the electric chair (or “Old Sparkey”) of Cold Mountain Penitentiary in E Block. Although he has never seen someone like John Coffey. John was accused of the deaths of two little girls he was found with near a riverbank. When the policemen found John, he was holding the two dead little girls in his arms and crying. A crying that sounds more like the howling of an animal. Later Paul Edgecombe will uncover the secret that hides within John Coffey… a secret which will change Paul’s life forever! This story might even change yours!
The details: 536 pages; 1999 Review by Nick Y.
