I’m not positive why but SK does such a great job writing about kids. He seems to remember the tiniest of details; not just what scares them, but how that fear smells, tastes, and breathes down our neck. That all seems to bring the fear that we buried long ago back to the surface. The Institute was a solid 5 ⭐️ read for me. Immediately engaged by the “night knocker” and his backstory, part of the suspense was waiting on his path to cross with our prodigy. Luke and the others in the Institute are...
It's been 45 years since Stephen King published his first novel, Carrie, and I'm glad to say the guy's still got it. The Institute thrills unevenly, taking a long time to power up, but once the wheels are in motion it's a rollercoaster ride all the way to the finish. Luke Ellis, 12-year-old brainiac, is the perfect protagonist to showcase the vulnerability and capability of kids. He's the kind of character you root for and fear for. The villains, too, are well-drawn and scary in realistic, human...
5 Bright and Fabulous Stars What can I tell you about “The Institute?” Besides the fact that it’s a phenomenal read and the narrator is fantastic?!I simply adored the character development! It’s something that I think Stephen King excels in. His writing draws you in like a toasted bagel with butter, that you can’t wait to sink your teeth into. Here, King features a large cast of characters, some of whom have been stolen away from home, and now reside in “The Institute.” Luke Ellis was taken fro...
KING of the writers just released a book and I started my Single ladies/Staying alive combination happy dance, grabbed it into my hands and started my ritual I do when I start a new King book. My ritual is simple. I pray for several things starting with better eyesight (Dear King always like to write encyclopedic sized books which I also used in my training sessions. I lift “The Stand” and “Dark Tower series” 50 times till my arms turned into jellies but now I got an amazing look. Some people co...
”The world is still here even though many nations have atomic weapons, even though primitive human emotions still hold sway over rational thought and superstition masquerading as religion still guides the course of human politics.”But why are we still here? Why hasn’t some madman or a pair of bellicose leaders managed to destroy the world? We could say we have been living under the threat of imminent destruction since the 1940s. It certainly heated up in the 1960s and then moved into a Cold War,...
*I’m taking one star off for stuff that went over my head. And no, don’t ask, I’ll do a reread from the library, as I’ve unhauled my hardback copy! That was good AND sad 😫Okay, because I’m twelve and not the old beat up chic that I am, I love these kids and this quote: "Stick your nose up my ass and fight for air, "Luke said, and began to laugh. They just keep coming. It’s one of those have to be there moments. They are trying to find some happiness in the horrific situation they are in Hel...
The Institute was absolutely everything I wanted it to be and more. I'm so in love with this story.That's my full review. That's it. I'm done.I have made peace with my frequent inability to write reviews for King's work.It's okay. I accept my right to just fangirl and move on. I hope y'all understand.One small thing I will mention is the phenomenal dynamic between this group of kids.In my opinion, King writes children so well. Their honesty, innocence and way of viewing the world; he always hits...
