Book Reviews of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Penguin Classics)
Book Review: A perceptive and original take on mental health and institutionalization
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw the film adaptation of this novel before reading the book; I wish I had had a chance to read the book prior to watching the movie! It was quite different than the film interpretation, and a vision of Jack Nicholson as McMurphy kept creeping into my head as I read the book! Overall, I felt Kesey's novel had really original take on mental health and institutionalization. I liked that it was told from the point of view of the Chief (one of the patients)...seemed very authentic. Although it was gritty and the ending was hard-to-take, I really was impressed by this novel.
Summary of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Penguin Classics)
Boisterous, ribald, and ultimately shattering, Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is the seminal novel of the 1960s that has left an indelible mark on the literature of our time. Here is the unforgettable story of a mental ward and its inhabitants, especially the tyrannical Big Nurse Ratched and Randle Patrick McMurphy, the brawling, fun-loving new inmate who resolves to oppose her. We see the struggle through the eyes of Chief Bromden, the seemingly mute half-Indian patient who witnesses and understands McMurphy's heroic attempt to do battle with the awesome powers that keep them all imprisoned.With a Preface and Illustrations by the author
