The Institute is one of King's better modern works, though it doesn't quite cross over into a game-changer. It's a page-turner with a few of King's minor flaws (weird idioms no longer in use, a strange need to identify every character's attractiveness) but many of his major ones (grotesque detail, spoiling his own plot, taking things in an uncomfortable direction) have been left out. With a twisting plot and enjoyable characters, the length breezes right by. If you need a kids vs. bad guys book written for adults, this is a strong choice.
