Most Memorable Part of the book

[chronman23]

This is the third Stephen King book I've read. The first two were The Long Walk and Misery. Those were both great but The Green Mile really stuck with me. There were many memorable parts of the book. The one that really stuck with me was when Paul was talking to John right before his execution. The passage that stuck with me was "I'm rightly tired of the pain I hear and feel, boss. I'm tired of bein on the road, lonely as a robin in the rain. Not never havin no buddy to go on with or tell me where we's comin from or goin to or why. I'm tired of people bein ugly to each other. It feels like pieces of glass in my head. I'm tired of all the times I've wanted to help and couldn't. I'm tired of bein in the dark. Mostly it's the pain. There's too much. If I could end it, I would. But I can't. Something about that got to me. What part did you guys like the best?

i liked that one, too, chronman...there's others like that in other sk stuff...here's a thread that someone started : http://www.stephenking.com/forums/sh...o-have-read%29

there's a pile of other good stuff in g.m......john coffey saying 'i'm sorry for what i am.'......paul, late in the story, talks about a...demon of discord.....something like 'at....not satan, but another....and this, too, is an idea that is repeated in sk's stuff....insomnia comes to mine...something what's his name talks about....forget his name, the guy who beats on his wife..........or maybe when paul looks at annie and sees a 'demon capering behind her eyes.'.....but not here in g.m., hey?....oh no, here we see a face and though the face is crying, evil is assigned to it

came across another phrase sorta like what you like in g.m., chronman... from it : late in the book, when the kids are in the sewers, there's this line that goes , 'stan's shriek cut across his thoughts like broken glass...'....neat-o, hey? i luv that stuff that comes back time and again...different takes on a subject

I work in a prison, and I enjoyed the book long before I went behind "the wire", and was amazed at how accurate his portrayal of inmates was-even so many years down the line. I've yet to meet a John Coffey type-but there's always tomorrow...and another Intake load. Also, the portrayal of the Corrections Officers was on the money as well...

I liked the part at the end when the main character wonders if Mr. Jingles lived that long just how much longer would he live.

One of my favorite works, its a very sensitive novel. I tried to re-read it but it was a bit too familiar still so I put it back on the shelf until I can lose some more braincells.

Don't know what this says about me but I loved the part where afer being touched by John, Paul had a...ummm.....renewed vigor in the sack....If you could bottle that stuff, Viagra would be off the market!

That one got me crying like a little kid...
John is like a child, he's so lovely...
I also love it when he tells people about his name: "Like the drink, only spelled different"

The Green mile is right up there with needful things as a favourite. I read the full book (as oppose to the 6 or so booklets) in a few days. I think my favourite part was when John revivied Mr. Jingles. This book was one of the few books ever to make me cry - it is a strange feeling to cry in a book. It will definitely be the first of King's books that I read for a second time.

Green Mile is one of my favorites. Iam not sure I like a certain part best but really like the character of John Coffey.
