One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

9/10

This book was an extremely interesting read, a compelling story and an entrance to an interesting mind. I loved that the story was through the eyes of a schizophrenic, and the characters are so interesting and added depth in surprising ways. The events are so comical yet deep, though they are very impractical. The ending was very emotional and you find yourself cheering as McMurphy attacks the nurse; the nurse who represents the cold people who we all interact. The people who need to hurt you to feel good about themselves. Then you stop, think and realize that he is performing something horrible, so you can no longer cheer. The book was a stellar read which makes you contemplate the society in which this novel reflects.
