The Institute

What an incredible story, I've never been so engrossed in a book. The story follows a little boy who due to sad circumstances ends up in an institute for kids with special abilities. Unfortunately, the kids here are treated more like cattle compared to something Charles Xavier might run. The kids have telekinetic and telepathic powers and these powers are used in the institute to kill targets across the world in order to prevent world-ending calamities. The book follows this young boys journey through the institute and his eventual escape from it...

Entertaining page-turner with the typical focus on children and King's trademark storytelling. It may be a guilty pleasure, but there's no denying it is a pleasure. He has the occasional misfire, but King's output is remarkably consistent, and remains at a high level.

This is the first book I have read by Steven King but it really didn't make me wanna read more of his work. First off the times the breasts of a female character were discribed for no reason is way to many. Even the fucking kids my guy. 

The story in the beginning was also slow as fuck. Just 250 pages of kids being abused. Like idk if this is supposed to be horror or thiller of whatever but it was just sad and nothing else. Zero suspense. The story also took exclusively very predictable turns and was pretty boring overal. 

The character discriptions were also just so weird. This whole book made me feel uncomfortable and not in a good way, it was boring and went on for way to long. Not a fan
