Luke is a gifted boy, not only with superior IQ, but also extraordinary emotional intelligence. At the age of 12, he easily gained admission to MIT and Emerson College.
On an ordinary midnight, uninvited guests suddenly broke into Luke's secluded apartment in the suburbs of Minneapolis, killed Luke's parents, and kidnapped him. The whole journey takes less than two minutes.
When Luke woke up, he found himself in a mysterious institution. Locked with him were Avery, Carissa, Nick, Helen and a dozen other children. These kids come from all over the country and all have some special ability: telekinesis or telepathy. At first, managers would freely experiment on them. In less than three weeks, when the children's powers have been squeezed out, they will be abandoned in the back half of the cockroach hotel. The children couldn't bear the torture, but they were not willing to be manipulated. Seeing his friends disappear one by one, the few best friends clinging to each other mustered up the courage to secretly help Luke escape successfully.
Unexpectedly, Luke stepped out of the wolf's den and stepped closer to the tiger's mouth. He discovered that the institute's informants were spread all over the country. And he has already become a wanted felon who shot his parents to death. While he was hiding carefully, he had to work hard to be strong and struggle in the menacing and complex reality...
Reader comments
The plot has ups and downs, and every change is touching. The great thing about Stephen King is that once you pick up his book, you won't be able to put it down for a short time. The content inside is like a Luban lock, one link after another, making you addicted to logic. The writing style of this book is also very beautiful, but I personally feel that it is not as good as the writing style of The Shining. Of course, there are no flaws in the plot. The characters throughout the book are all well-rounded, and the protagonist is not dehumanized just because he is a genius. He didn't put himself at risk just because he wanted to protect his companions. Very human touch. Stephenson's description of human nature is also very good. After reading through, I like Avery the most, a strong and brave little boy [crying]
Summary: Stephen King is a god!
The plot of this book is very tight and kept me wondering what would happen next. Luke and his friends are brave, especially Luke, who remains calm in such difficult circumstances. I especially like a sentence in the book: "Superpower is not a disease, it is a gift." This sentence inspired me deeply. However, I really hate the nurse named Gladys, she is so cruel to the children. Overall, this is a wonderful novel and worth reading.
As a work by Stephen King, although it is a 19-year-old book, I highly praise the sense of immersion and character creation of this book. It is a masterpiece worth reading, but it is not suitable for novices. It is recommended for bookworms with a certain foundation.
I can't wait to see the ending. The text description is very visual, as if an American TV series is playing in my mind.
No fairy tale ending, poor kids.
Stephen King, awesome! ! !
I read part of it a long time ago, and now I'm just making up for it.
After reading it, it is indeed Jin's style
Good-looking, multi-line narrative, and finally, welcome to the South
It's great to watch. The second half of Escape really grabbed my attention. I stayed up two nights to finish it. It's awesome.
