From back cover: 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, wonderous truth about Coffey, a truth that will challnede his most cherished beliefs -- and yours.

RELEASE NOTES:
Released on OBCZ shelves as part of the "Leap Into the Wild" release challenge.

This book was retrieved during the Great "Essenza is Closing" Rescue Mission of '08. It will be either rereleased locally or sent away to another OBCZ.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES: Sending to Tempestsans to help stock OBCZs. Thanks for taking them off my hands, T, and happy travels, little book!

great book, and for once the subsequent movie actually follows the novel pretty well and true.

worth the read even if you have seen the film

the box of these arrived exactly the day AFTER our last email and has been waiting at my house until i returned from AZ on business. thanks so much for sharing and your patience with my 'getting to a mailbox' challenge for funds.

will be journaling all books today since Firegirl was kind, ambitious and thoughtful enough to have not only sent the books but a full list of the BCIDs in the box to make for ease of journaling.

hoping to get by my OBCZ on Sunday morning for a bagel and to stock the shelves with some of these goodies!

thanks for sharing!

ok, that was wierd! released the book for tomorrow at "Sanctuary Park" and when the note completed it had me releasing at "Kroger-Starbucks" which isn't even anywhere close in the release list...so it wasn't my fat fingers that created that oddity! not sure what the deal was, but am catching to correct release location.
