The Green Mile

Oh my god, this book has just killed me. I'm twelve minutes from the end and have been crying for the last hour and a half. How does Stephen King do it? How can he create so many characters that feel so very real? I detest the bad guys in his stories - that's how rotten to the core he makes them - but his good guys are extraordinary and John Coffey is beautiful from head to toe. I'm just crushed that this story is over.
