Description
The master of horror returns to his classic themes, weaving them into America during the crisis period.
Late at night, in a quiet suburb of Minneapolis, unknown individuals break into the Ellis family home and, after silently murdering the parents of twelve-year-old Luke, abduct him and load him into a black SUV. Luke wakes up at the Institute, in a room identical to his own, but without windows. Outside his door, there are other doors behind which other children with special abilities, such as telepathy and telekinesis, are held. They have also arrived here in a similar manner. They are Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and ten-year-old Avery Dixon.
In this harsh institution, the director, Mrs. Sigsby, and her staff are utterly dedicated to their purpose: to extract from the children the power that grants them their supernatural gifts. There are no moral qualms. If you cooperate, you earn tokens for the snack and soda vending machines. If not, the punishment is severe. One by one, the children disappear, and Luke desperately searches for a way to escape. But no one has ever escaped from the Institute...
Unspeakably terrifying, as much as "Firestarter," but with the childlike perspective power of "It," "The Institute" is a tragic and gripping story where good battles evil in a world where the good do not always win.

Although the book's expression and writing style may seem somewhat "childish," I could say that the plot really keeps you alert, a fantastic book that you read in one breath to find out the continuation of the story, definitely the fantastic story covers any negative aspect and if the writing has any flaws (which may also be due to the translator, I judge the final product that I read) One of the few books that I really finished without realizing it

Did you find this review helpful?This book, although not particularly scary like others by the author, manages to keep you in suspense from beginning to end! Wonderful story full of action and mystery...

Did you find this review helpful?Not one of the best books I have read. I would say it was a simple adventure. There were some points that were captivating, but they were very few. Nevertheless, it is easy to read and was a good companion for my free time.

Did you find this review helpful?I have no words for this book! I found it truly breathtaking! I don't even know how many times I got goosebumps while reading it, how much I felt the characters in my skin, and how many hours I read non-stop as if I was obsessed! I couldn't put it down and I really didn't want it to end! It's not a coincidence that they call the author one of the best in the genre and that the whole world reads him! It was my first book by him and I think I will read many more of his works! I highly recommend it!

Did you find this review helpful?If someone is looking for a book that will captivate their attention from the first page to the last, The Institute is the perfect book. The protagonist of the story is Luke Ellis, a twelve-year-old boy who has an important gift. He is very intelligent. Suddenly, he will wake up in a place where every nightmare of his will come to life, The Institute. Soon he will realize that not only his own life is in danger, but also the lives of all the children in it, while at the same time he is haunted by a question... why are all these children in this place. Most of the characters in the novel are memorable either for a positive or negative reason, but what makes them stand out is the fact that the reader becomes attached to them and cares about their development. Each character has their own unique personality, and that is what makes them special. The Institute is one of those books that will make the reader anxious about the story's progression and what is going to happen. And at this point, Stephen King comes in, with his exceptionally well-crafted writing, to narrate the events with coherence and pace so that the reader doesn't get bored and ultimately have all their questions about the story answered.

Did you find this review helpful?You bind with the characters as if you know them up close.
Perfect plot and keeps you hooked almost always.
It tires me a lot, I would say, the detail that it writes everything frequently, but this is purely my opinion.
I recommend it to people who have read King's books before because it is quite heavy.
However, I loved it and I feel a nostalgia for the characters.

Did you find this review helpful?This book is a very good adventure without intense horror elements, which is good for readers who want to delve into King's mind without experiencing a blackout.
For those who already know King, it is a very good book but in no way atmospheric or scary like The Shining or The Green Mile or The Stand.
