My first Stephen King book read. I have seen the movies, but I finally had the opportunity to read his books. I should have done it a long time ago. I have not finished "The Institute yet, but I have enjoyed it a lot I am more than halfway! It started off slow for me, I took a couple of weeks to get to chapter two. I was almost going to give up on it, it just was not intriguing me. Till finally, I WAS. I am hooked now and once I finish this one, I will get another of his books as well.
