A review by booksandsnacks31
The Institute by Stephen King

challenging dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.0

This is my first (and probably last since I am not a horror girly) King novel. My sister bugged me for MONTHS to read this and I’m so glad I finally did. It had the perfect creepy, mysterious vibes and while it had horrific moments it didn’t feel horror or too scary to me. The characters were great, the story had me excited to keep reading, it’s so well written, and had through provoking themes that I’ll be thinking about for a while.
