I was so engrossed in this book I read it in almost a day. I really enjoyed it but felt like the store was not entirely finished. I wonder if there's going to be a sequel in the future.

Stephen King dedicated this one to his grandchildren. It’s a modern day pseudo-dystopian science fiction piece and it will make another great film as well. I’m rounding stars from 3.75 but I loved this novel which has some classic Kingness to it but set in the modern world for the next generation. The science Is imaginative and has a great feel for teens. It features a group of children with special abilities who are scientific test subjects in The Institute. It has a lot to offer in the way of developing trust and loyalty into fantastic friendships. And this will get you going with conspiracy theories, mysticism, and sleuthing.
