Stephen King, "The Green Mile."
I hadn't read anything by him before. I also hadn't seen the movie adaptation. This genre isn't really my thing. It's a blend of the horrors of our reality with some kind of mysticism. I decided to give it a try. It took me quite a while to get into it, to get used not only to the style but also to the plot. It's, to put it mildly, quite specific. It's about a prison for inmates sentenced to death. Before this, I had only read about such places once, in Solzhenitsyn's works. But compared to Solzhenitsyn's camps, the American prison is definitely a walk in the park. Even for death row inmates... In the end, the book drew me in, and I was already ready to give up. It even became interesting. But I didn't get much enjoyment out of it. Which is what I expected. Just your typical mainstream novel, with the bare minimum of food for thought... unfortunately.
