[The Green Mile](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL81629W/The_Green_Mile) #5
Prison Warden Hal Moores and his wife Melinda have also been Paul and Janice Edgecombe's friends. When Paul learns that Melinda has a brain tumor, he decides to help but knows that the warden would never allow John Coffey to leave the prison and, obviously, Melinda could not go there. He and the other guards from E Block take on a dangerous plan to spirit Coffey out during the night risking their jobs--not something to take lightly in 1932--and possibly their lives.

Book 5 is all about the mystical and the internal struggle of faith. Paul knows what John did for him, He was there when John 'helped' Mr. Jingles. Yet he doubts his actions. If he is caught, society won't believe him. Is it even the right thing to do? The mystical is very much on display in this installment. It's not in your face mysticism, just the right amount to not destroy suspension of disbelief. Very much a great read.
I have so much love for this book. It was the first book I read by King. Such a sad story about John Coffey and Paul Edgecombe. Definitely worth the read.
