From #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King, the most riveting and unforgettable story of kids confronting evil since It. "This is King at his best" ( The St. Louis Post-Dispatch ). In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Minneapolis, intruders silently murder Luke Ellis's parents and load him into a black SUV. The operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there's no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents--telekinesis and telepathy--who got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and ten-year-old Avery Dixon. They are all in Front Half. Others, Luke learns, graduated to Back Half, "like the roach motel," Kalisha says. "You check in, but you don't check out." In this most sinister of institutions, the director, Mrs. Sigsby, and her staff are ruthlessly dedicated to extracting from these children the force of their extranormal gifts. There are no scruples here. If you go along, you get tokens for the vending machines. If you don't, punishment is brutal. As each new victim disappears to Back Half, Luke becomes more and more desperate to get out and get help. But no one has ever escaped from the Institute. As psychically terrifying as Firestarter , and with the spectacular kid power of It , The Institute "is another winner: creepy and touching and horrifyingly believable, all at once" ( The Boston Globe ). Review: A fast-paced gripping thriller - This is a fast paced page turner. I started reading this novel, after I completed The Shadow of the Wind. Therefore, it was definitely a change of taste. The story, begins with a policeman, who has recently resigned from his job and through a turn of fate arrives at a sleepy little town in USA, where he is trying to come with grips with his new life. At the same time, King takes us to the Institute, started by a clandestine organization to harness and augment telekinetic and telepathic powers of gifted children, using questionable techniques. These children at the institute have been kidnapped and suffer intolerable torture. How a lone kid from the institute and the policeman settling in his new life, meet and bring down the Institute is the rest of the story..... Well written and keeps you awake through the night till you have reached the last page.
