The Green Mile, Part 3: Coffey's Hands

Book 3 is a great set-up for things to come. You start seeing the internal struggle of faith and belief from Paul's point of view, and you get great insight into things to come. King, baby steps his way via the serialization of the story and each book tends to age and take larger steps. This is where the story really begins its arc and it leaves you ready for the next installment.
