This book is an exciting thriller! It brings your mind to a place it's never been and keeps you wanting more.
A mouse with its own mind and its own personality that spices things up around the place.
Just wait until you finish this book, the rest is even better!

After reading Part I, I raced to part II to find out a little more about life on Death Row. I was not dissapointed. Part II keeps up the suspense and I recomend it to anyone who loves a book that you can't put down.

I enjoyed this second installment of "The Green Mile" very much & left me wanting to hurry into the next book.

This book was brilliant. I have been reading the Green Mile in parts and I must say this is the best one of the series. Great characters and writing.

I found this tape exceptional, but since it's only part of the entire book, it may be better to buy the entire set.

Once again, King has created an amazing story with The Green Mile: The Mouse on the Mile, however it did not contain the horror or gore that this reader was expecting. Within this novel King gives a chilling but natural view of prisons during The Great Depression. The interaction of prisoners and guards is explored as well as the procedure of killing a criminal via the electric chair. The friction between prison guards is also seen, as well as the action of nepotism. These factors give The Mouse on the Mile a human and natural feeling. However, with King's reputation, this reader had anticipated to be engrossed in terror. This did not occur, however, but one can expect to see King's trademark horror later in The Green Mile series. All in all, King has still made a wonderful novel, and this reader highly recommends it.

From a 13 y/o perspective. The Mouse on the Mile continues Stephen King's look into life of people on death row through the memories of prison guard Paul Edgecombe. This book introduces many new characters. There's a mouse that gets the name Steamboat Willie from one of the guards and Mr. Jingle's from one of the new prisoners. There's a really mean new prisoner William Wharton, who gives the bad guard Percy Whetmore, something to remember at the end of the book and makes me want to start reading the next book to find out what happens to Percy. A french man, Eduard Delacroix, and a gentle black man John Coffey. They are all waiting their turn for the electric chair, and finally the electric chair itself with the execution of the Cheif. This book is more exciting than the first. As always King leaves you hanging on the edge of your seat at the end of the book and you are racing to pick the next one up and get your nose in it. This book is not for those weak in the stomach. It is graphic in language and the description of many things that happen in a death row. I would recommend it to adults and others my age if they remember it's just a book and not to let it bother them. Off to start reading Coffey's Hands, Book #3 of the Green Mile Series.

I'm really impressed with this series so far. Good charcters, good storyline, good grief I'm holding my breath for the next one. This one ends on a suspenseful note and I like that. It's classic Stephen King.

Stephen har gjort det igen, misslyckats... Ända sedan sina första böcker har Stephen varit rent sagt urusel. Du som läser detta blir inte glad och det är just det som är meningen. Igentligen tyckte jag nog om boken men det kan bli tråkigt med alla positiva människor och deras glada och okritiska tankar. Så sug kuk och håll käften...

After reading the first book, I couldn't wait for the second one to be published. When it finally was, I was not disappointed. The suspense that King is weaving in this series is astounding. It makes you want more at the end. In this book, King adds a new personality to the mouse that Delacroix has taken for a pet. King involves you so deeply, that it seems that the life on the Green Mile is linked to this mouse. It's down right creepy
