Book Review: ATTENTION ALL PSYCHO-CERAMICS
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great story. I have seen the movie a few times and just finished reading the book. The story is told from the believed to be deaf and mute Indian, Chief Broom. Being that no one believes he can hear he is privy to all the goings on at a mental institution with the patients and the staff. He tells the story from his perceptions, distorted and warped that they are due to his own mental illness. When the storys main figure, Randall McMurphy decides that he has had enough of a prison work camp he feigns insanity to complete the rest of his term at the institution. When McMurphy meets the 'Big Nurse' of the ward the battle begins betweem him and her, it's a battle between their two minds over who will break the other. Kessey writes as well as some of the great writers of our times in this story. The way Chief Broom tells us the story is awesome.
