Spencer told me to read this book because it was really good. This is the first Stephen King book that I have ever read and I think that it is really good.
At Cold Mountain Penitentiary, along the lonely stretch of cells known as the Green Mile, killers as depraved as the psychopathic "Billy the Kid" Wharton and the possessed Eduard Delacroix await death strapped in "Old Sparky." Here guards as decent as Paul Edgecombe and as sadistic as Percy Wetmore watch over them. But good or evil, innocent or guilty, none have ever seen the brutal likes of the new prisoner, John Coffey, sentenced to death for raping and murdering two young girls. Is Coffey a devil in human form? Or is he a far, far different kind of being?
There are more wonders in heaven and hell than anyone at Cold Mountain can imagine--as the truth emerges in shock waves that only Stephen King could create and a blast of revelation that will truly blow your mind.

The movie is good as well. Let me know what other books of his you are looking at reading, not all of them are good. I really recommend The Cell by Stephen King, that one was good.
