2020 THRILLER/SUSPENSE AUDIE AWARD WINNER!

Now an MGM+ Original Series!

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” (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).

Opinie krytyków

"Stephen King's newest audiobook is compulsively entertaining and features a dazzling performance by narrator Santino Fontana. After a seemingly unconnected prelude that is revisited much later, listeners meet 12-year-old telekinetic genius Luke Ellis. One night, Luke's parents are brutally murdered, and he's drugged, kidnapped, and brought to The Institute. There, he meets other supernaturally gifted children who have been taken. Fontana does wonders with this diverse lineup of young characters who band together to fight their captors. Each of them sounds authentic and unique. Meanwhile, the adult characters, with a few exceptions, are a nightmarish bunch. Through them, Fontana shows that evil can have many different voices. While this isn't King at his most original, his and Fontana's talents are a winning combination."

Was soll man sagen, Stephen King beherrscht sein Fach eben wie kein zweiter. Ein rundum gelungenes Werk, hervorragend gelesen.

As with many stories by Stephen King, The Institute is another nail biting tale read by a very talented Santino Fontana, whose range of voices give the many characters a believable rendition.

Pretty good story

Some reviews complain about how this is "a story told many times", but honestly which isn't? Everything is following tropes or natural guidelines, that's just the nature of storytelling. Important is how the story is brought across, and once again Mr. King did a good job. i loved the characters, even the ones that I despised and the emotions. Mr Fontana did a great job narrating everything: reading pace, voice acting and accents (though I can't judge american accents, I'm german) and the nuances of each characters.
All in all very recommendable and worthwhile

loved the story and the narrator

a great story that develops slowly, speeds up in between and before the end. King is simply a great storyteller. well narrated

gripping story, well told

The mixture of the natural with the supernatural is never unnatural in a Stephen King story.

Another amazing story
