The Institute - Stephen King

What if. Just what if?

Telepathy, Telekinesis. Mere parlor games for most. Moving objects with nothing more than the power of your mind. Knowing what others are thinking. Advantageous?

This is a real roller coaster of a ride, from start to finish. Not, one of your nice new smooth ones. But one of those old rickety ones, that jars your spine for its entirety.

Mr King seems to have found a softer side, no more out and out horror. Does it remove the quality, no. Not at all. It seems that whatever he turns his magic pen to, is going to be a massive success.

The Whisper Man - Alex North

The Whisper Man, an invigorating read. The plot is so tightly wound, with each turn uncovering something new or an event tied to something else further on. So you need your wits about you. There is very little space in this book that doesn't have something going on in it. Even the school playground isn't safe.

The little gold circle on the front, is deserved. It isn't just there for decoration. The book really is as good as it states.

An easy 5  / 5

Knife - Jo Nesbo

The twelfth installment of the Harry Hole series. This is up there with the best of Hole's investigations. Being flipped upside down, the detective, becoming the suspect.

The death of one of the main character's in other stories. And Harry's wife of recent outings. Leads to a relapsing Hole being prime suspect.

OK enough of that.

This reads well, very well. I liked the blue edging on the pages. A nice little touch. The pages turned very easily. I know I go on about being drawn in. But, this has it. Easy to lose a couple of hours in.
