Synopsis: The playground was surrounded by a chain link fence at least ten feet high, and Luke saw cameras peering down at two of the corners . They were dusty, as if they hadn't been cleaned in awhile. Beyond the fence there was nothing but forest, mostly pines... Whatever the Institute was, it was in the middle of an old-growth forest, which meant in the middle of nowhere. As for the playground itself, Luke's first thought was that if there was ever a prison exercise yard for kids between the ages of six and sixteen, it would look like this.
The girl-Iris- saw them and waved. She double bounced on the trampoline... "Sha! Who you got there?"
"This is Luke Ellis," Kalisha said, "New this morning."
My Review: I absolutely loved this book! I can't say enough good things about it. I thought it was amazing! If there was a rating higher than 5 stars I would give it that!
One of my favorite things about the book is the plot. The kids being abducted gives it a dose of horror but, the reason why the kids are being abducted gives it a bit of a sci-fi element and is extremely interesting! If you are a fan of Carrie or The Shining you would probably love this book! .
Another thing I liked about this book is that it is very vivid. Mr. King is very good at showing his readers things instead of just telling them and his ability to do that is on full display in this book. It's a real page turner and I didn't want to put it down.
I also loved the characters! The kids felt like kids which made the risks in the story feel greater and more dangerous. As I said previously I can't say enough good things about this book and so I have to give it 5 stars (wish I could give it more)!
