Paul Edgecomb didn't believe in miracles,
until the day he met one.
Synopsis
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, keeping a date
with "Old Sparky," Cold Mountain's electric chair. Prison guard Paul
Edgecombe has seen his share of oddities in his years working the Mile.
But he's never seen anyone 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. In this place of ultimate
retribution, Edgecombe is about to discover the terrible, wondrous truth
about Coffey, a truth that will challenge his most cherished beliefs...and
yours. -- Amazon

God, the Green Mile is so long."
