This is my first King's book and I need to say the beginning of it was confusing, but most books are. I just needed time to realize what the history was going about. I needed to empathise with Tim, character I wasn't able to understand at the beginning, but I loved at the end.
I started enjoying the book with the appearance of Luke Ellis, his kidnaping and the abruptly appearance of the Institute facilities what kept me reading nonstop. Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris... and especially Avery. I really hated Sigsby, Stackhouse and every single one who made the kids suffer.
Talking about my first experience with King's way of writing, I think he's able to do magic with the kids, the dialogues are incredibly enjoyable and every kid is different in their own way. But I also have to say it was really difficult to me to follow when he started to describe some American things such as States, Roads, Towns...
Despite that, I think The Institute is such an enjoyable book. Very attractive if you like psychic abilities, and the fight against a bigger evil.
Sorry if my English wasn't good enough, I've lost practice.

This was a little bit difficult to me: it was my first book read in English. Despite that fact, I liked the story but I didn't like how everyone treated Nick after what happened. I also consider Cath is such a boring character and all the fanfiction stuff is something you really need to love to be woried at, so in me personal case it didnt matter to me what happens to cath and his fanfic story. In addition, I would like to say I liked Levi but I hated him a lot when he kissed that other girl, but thats realistic and happens like A LOT (wish it wouldn't). To end with, I thought we would have known more about Cath's and Wren's mother but it ended so fast and we only were able to see a little bit of that part of the history.
