Stars 4/5
The Institute by Stephen King
I am going to be honest and say that the kid torture made me a bit ill. The book is really well written and it is a very distorted coming of age story but it is kinda disturbing. The story follows Luke, a twelve year old boy that is not only genius level IQ but is also telekinetic. One night, people break into his home, kill his parents and kidnap him. He wakes up at The Institute, which is a place for kids with telekinetic and telepathic gifts, and they put the kids through torturous tests. I don't want to go more into the story as to not spoil it but be warned that there are some graphic violence aimed towards children.
