Luke Ellis, a super-smart twelve-year-old with an exceptional gift, is the latest in a long line of kids abducted and taken to a secret government facility, hidden deep in the forest in Maine.

Here, kids with special talents - telekinesis and telepathy - like Luke's new friends Kalisha, Nick and Iris, are subjected to a series of experiments.

There seems to be no hope of escape. Until Luke teams up with an even younger boy whose powers of telepathy are off the scale.

Meanwhile, far away in a small town in South Carolina, former cop Tim Jamieson, looking for the quiet life, has taken a job working for the local sheriff. He doesn't know he's about to take on the biggest case of his career... --back cover

What a ride! Great book.

Here, I'll say it up front: This is my first Stephen King book, ever. I saw movies, your classic "Pet Semetary", "It", you know. But never a book.

The Institute both differs notably from the tone of the movies I saw and at the same time shares a lot of the same vibes. It's much less of a thriller than the above, but it's gripping, it makes you care (always a plus in a story), it pulls you in. Well, it sure did me.

And I LIKE the ending a lot. Endings are hard, but King nailed it here.

So, go read this, really.
