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
Very good book, easy to read but a little sad.. in the end it made me feel melancholic because it touches upon a very sensitive issue, child abuse.
Very well-written book in the style of drama-action, which King serves masterfully. Less heavy compared to the author's other works. Highly recommended.
Wonderful book, with a good plot, nice continuation, clear King style that plays with our fears and passes them through us so masterfully that when you realize it, you have immersed yourself so much in the book that you can't stop
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...
If you want to start reading Stephen King without diving straight into his very scary ones, I believe this is ideal!
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.
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!
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.
4/5
The King was excellent once again! The book is thrilling and King's writing doesn't let you relax! Suspense, action, and character development!
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.
Perhaps one of the best books by the widely known Stephen King.
The book immerses you in its atmosphere from the beginning. The pages fly by quickly and keep you captivated from start to finish.
I would recommend it to all King readers, to those who enjoy mystery, thriller, and suspense.
It is by no means a horror book, but the story is amazing and unfolds beautifully. You really can't put it down.
Incredible book, easy to read, full of suspense. You won't be able to put it down. Written by Stephen King in 2019, it's a great recommendation even for someone who is just starting with the author.
It is very easy to read, it keeps your interest and you don't get bored. It's like watching a movie. I highly recommend it.
It is very good, but if someone expects something very scary, I don't know if they will like it. I liked it because it had a lot of intense mystery and suspense. As for the book, it is very nice, both the cover and the paper
Very nice and this book of King. With a story, with a plot, with characters that enchant you and put you inside the story as if you were the protagonist. Like everything, this book, the new book of Stephen King, is worth reading if you are a fan of fantasy, adventure, superpowers, and secret organizations. Everyone, take it, you will enjoy it.
Not one of its best, but the obsession with it is guaranteed.
I highly recommend it!!! It is a book that captivates you!
For me, the best book by Stephen King.
From the mediocre books of King regarding plot and horror
