![]() Rating: - A Book That Lives Up to its ReputationA truly rare thing. A much heralded classic of modern literature that lives up to its promise and hype. The plot is outlined in multiple reviews, so, as usual, I will skip that, and focus on what was done right (a lot), what was done wrong (a little), and what it all means. The book was a well-written character study on the part of almost all of the characters. This is one of the widely regarded aspects of the book that holds water. Nurse Ratched, (Nurse Wretched, perhaps?) the totalitarian ... Read More Rating: - A great edition for a modern ClassicThe cover for this book is wonderful. Its sturdy and has an inside flap to tell you the book summary. The font is great as is the set up of the different parts. If you want a book full of symbols and meaning but set in something mundane and frightening as a crazy house --this book is great. The only problem I had with this book is the pages.

I didn't have any idea what this book was about before I started reading it. About halfway through the book, I could almost say the same thing, I wouldn't be able to summarize what had happened at ... Read More Rating: - One Flew East, One Flew West'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest' is easily one of the greatest novels ever written. Chief Bromden is, by far, the most humanizing narrator I've ever read. Though this novel is an unyielding social criticism, it's also a very effective one in that it forces the reader to empathize with confined characters while realizing the authoritarians' actions - particularly those of Nurse Ratched - seem even more villainous due to the demoralization which is felt when one is corrected or otherwise censored without being ... Read More Rating: - Must HaveThis book is a very good read. You feel as though you are truly experiencing the hospital through the eyes of the chief and it is refreshing to be in the third person from all the action. Found the book to be extremely refreshing.
