Most Memorable Part of the book

[Inspector Karamazov]

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 just read this book tonight and cried terribly at the part you mentioned.

Also, at: "He killed them with they love".
And: "That's how it is every day, all over the world."
And: "You won't 'splode."
That entire chapter made me sob pathetically. and not too many books can do that.

I loved the prayer Paul says for Coffey (like the drink, but not spelled that way). It was the kind of passage I wanted to read over and over.

I think this book really shows Sai King's range. It was an amazing, though I don't think I want to read it again for a good long time.

I just finished this book. It's kind of sad how at the end of the story Paul's the last one left of his 'ka-tet'

I liked how Mr. Jingles came back in the end too.

It's an amazing story, and very easy to read IMHO.

I have to say that the saddest part of the book was when Mr. Jingles died. Honestly, I cried during that scene.

Mostly, it was a good book. The time period was slightly annoying, but it worked well with the story. I love when he revealed his age to his woman friend (Sorry, I forget her name.)

I read this as it came out, on the installment plan. I was so excited to get each one and was amazed at how I was sucked right into the story again, like an old friend you haven't seen in years but when you see each other again, you go on like you never spent a day apart. I just bought the novel edition in a used book store! Can't wait to read it again.

Yeah, I really enjoyed this portion as well. I saw the movie a while ago and just finished with the book. This was one of the lines from the novel that has stuck with me since I finished it. It made me feel less sad because I felt he was at piece with passing away.
