Green Mile was good as well, did you watch the film ? Again not as good as the book.

Yes, Dark Tower is the Roland led series.

I thought they did a great job with the Green Mile movie. It's strange that two of my favorite movies are based in prisons and based on stories by Stephen King and directed by the same guy...then again maybe it's not such a mystery.

The funny thing about the Green Mile movies is that they took the story from the book and used the order that the stories appeared in the book (episodes?) and made that the chronology. It was interesting in that it worked in either order.

Green Mile was the book they released in 8 shorter pieces. It was an experiment of sorts and a nod back to the Dickens era when novels were first publish serially. I only read it after seeing the movie, so I read it as a single novel.
