Frank Muller is an outstanding narrator. He switches gears from voice to voice seemlessly as if there were more than just one person relating the tale over the audio waves. This tale, set in a prison's death row, and starring a very interesting and diverse cast of inmates, including the novel's anti-hero, John Coffey, twisted and turned and kept me guessing from "page" one to the end. And, just when I thought, "well that's it. I figured it out. That's the plot," or something along those lines, it turns out I'm wrong, or I hadn't figured it out, or there was more to the plot that I guessed! This novel had me in its clutches the whole time, just as Coffey had---, well, you'll see (or hear).

Muller, apparently a veteran of Stephen King audio books, even reads King's foreward and afterwards, which give a very interesting glimpse into what it is like to write, and publish, a novel in parts, where one part is published and the next hasn't even been finished. Some authors might not be able to pull this off, but King does.

I haven't seen the movie adaptation yet, but I could imagine Tom Hanks playing the role of the main character, from whose perspective the entire novel is written in first person.

If your commute is as long as mine, get yourself an audio book. If you think you'll enjoy a tale of suspense, drama, mystery, with a big helping of uncensored (after all, this is the unabridged version) swearing by many of the characters, then I'd recommend you pick this one up. (NOTE: This one isn't for kids, as it deals with some mature themes, not the least of which are detailed descriptions of executions, harsh language, and some graphic adult-oriented scenes.)
