Although most of the parts of the book that dealt with Tom Hanks' character when he was older and in the retirement home (he had to deal with a nasty guy like that one guard) were not in the film, the parts from when they worked the Green Mile were the most faithful adaptations to the screen from a book this side of a Harry Potter film (I assume). I mean, much of the dialogue was verbatim (like when the big guy feeds the mouse for the first time), and Creexul's favorite part occurs in the film exactly like it is described in the book. You should read it.
