Summary: Can't Get on the Bandwagon -- Sorry!
Review: This is a modern masterpiece, or so I've heard, many times, from various sources. So I gave it EVERY CHANCE in the world. But I have to be honest, I found it an utterly shallow raving about how the "modern matriarchy" [whatever that is] has "cut off men's balls". I read a bunch of reviews that hail this book as subtle and insightful and say that it really challenged stereotypes and drew characters fully and sympathetically. I thought it was quite the opposite. The characters were flat, two-dimensional, and predictable. The rambunctious, "life-loving" hearty male. The repressive, bureaucratic older woman emasculating the poor men in her charge. The sympathies were clear. The "good" characters, even when they raped teenage girls, were simply expressing their zest for life. The bad character was so bad that no one could even "get it up for her".The only thing "new" was the recognition that the mentally ill were human beings worthy of basic dignity. I'm not even sure that that view was (in 1962) quite as radical as everyone is making it out to be. It was more like a mid-century trend to reconceive deviance. And please, those of you snapping up to write a knee-jerk response chiding me for "political correctness", desist! All I am saying is that I doubt an author purporting to expose stereotypes serves his work well by resorting to yet more stereotypes with such gusto. Kesey could have made the UNSYMPATHETIC characters more human.

Summary: Mind-broadening, Humbling, Rich
Review: Kesey's artistry is spellbinding in its dark humor, dry intellect and over-the-top imagery. The novel is a modern masterpiece whose theme, though outdated, should make any thinking person reconsider the realities, limitations and stereotypes to which we've become accustom as members of society. The characters are rich and engaging. There is both genius and compassion in McMurphy's chaos; beauty in the Chief's dillusions. Never have I read a novel whose daring impressed me so, a novel that instilled such humility in me concerning my perceptions of others and their motivations. Though I am too young to understand much about the politics of the day, I appreciate the opportunity the author has given his readers to catch a glimpse into the minds of an unusual breed of people whom we would otherwise never know or understand.

Summary: 5 stars is not enough for this masterpiece
Review: This book is simply breathtaking. It will leave you stunned at how good it is. I cannot recommend it enough. Five stars does not come close to doing its brilliance justice. Read this book and be amazed.

Summary: Mc Murphy's code of ethics
Review: Because this book is discriptive it can seem slow moving, but when it gets to the action parts, it becomes more interesting. the second half of the book is the most interesting, it has a lot of unexpected twists near the end. so try not to fall asleep before you get to them!

Summary: Read the book first THEN watch the film
Review: I watched the film years ago, it was compelling and memorable - a brilliant story. Then i found the book at an airport - i thought i should read it. The book, (I dread to comment in this way) was as good as the film. It was well written, the characters well formed, the narrative well balanced, in fact as good a book as any. HOWEVER my opinion i think was jilted because i had the images of the actors in the film in my head as i read the book. How could anyone forget the contorted face of Nurse Ratched and the idiot smile of b b b b b billy from the film? I hope everyone will pay their respect to the writer and read the book first. It is a great book and should be enjoyed for itself. That the film was just as good, may mean that One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest will never reach outside a generation of readers, in the same way that Catch 22 will (although that made a great film as well). Buy this book and ENJOY.

Summary: One Flew over the Cooko's Nest
Review: The book One Flew over the cooko's nest was a really good book. The way that the author wrote it through the mind of one of the characters I think was pretty cool. My favorite part of the book was when McMurpy taught Cheif and all of the other men how to stand up for themselves and not let Nurse Ratched control them or their decitions.

Summary: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Review: This book was good. This book was the only book that I read that I didn't think it was boring. I think that the best part of the book was when McMurphy made the Big Nurse flip out.

Summary: The Nutt House
Review: I read this in school and I have to say it was fairly good book. It was filled with comedy, adventure, and action! It showed how people can get under each other's skin over petty things such as the "World Series Battle". The best characters are the inmates with their looney charm and witt. Also McMurphy is exceptional!
Rating:
