Customer Reviews

Thrilling, engaging mystery

In The Institut, John Warmus successfully brings a sense of suspense, religion, and creepiness into a riveting mystery.This novel pulls you in with its superb integration of setting, then carries you along with the tension of knowing a greater truth will be revealed. Warmus writes with an unobtrusive pen, never overtelling the story, never letting one of its elements outweigh the other. This is a page turner if there ever was one.Secrets of the Catholic Church are revealed, along with some well-detailed characterization. I enjoyed The Institut from the start right up until the end. Many times, when reading such a book, I am taken off course by either heavy-handed preaching or a plot that cannot carry the book. This novel is balanced, in a way that allows each element to be present, but not overwhelm another.If you like mysteries, or you are interested in religion and the church, The Institut offers some great insight, and a great story as well.

SPECIAL MYSTERY

The Institut is one of those special mysteries that keeps you involved and thinking even after the last page is turned. It is an exciting and thought-provoking read!

TERRIFIC STORY

The Institut is a terrific story. You will be held captive - as were the children of the Institut. You will never be the same after a trip into these Carpathian Mountains.

PROVOCATIVE STORY

Here's what Don McKinney of the Hilton Head Island Packet has to say about The Institut in his July 22, 2001 review: "... not your ordinary suspense or religious novel...it is hard not to be caught up in his [Warmus'] provocative story...his story never fails to hold one's interest."

IS GOD ALIVE?

The Institut is an exciting new novel by the author of The Suicide Club. If you've ever read the Bible, or even if you haven't, but wonder -- you have to read The Institut. A fast-paced suspense filled story exposing a secret the church has kept hidden for 2,000 years. John Warmus delves into the archives of Christianity hidden in the Carpathian Mountain to reveal just who God is."
