One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest

Rating:
Summary: One of the best books I've ever read!! Kelli B.
Review: Would definitly reccomend this book to anyone who likes to read. The happenings in the asylum makes you wonder what actually happens in one. The book makes you look at the world differently than before. This book was really interesting and kept my interest the whole time. My favorite character was Big Chief. I still can't believe that no one acted suprised when he started talking. People would just ask him questions like he'd always talked.

Summary: Interesting
Review: Overall, I really really liked "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest." I loved the writing style and I easily got caught up in the novel. The experiences of Big Chief, McMurphy, and Big Nurse changed my perspective on a lot of things as I was reading it. It was the type of book that was hard to quit reading. I think that Ken Kesey used wonderful language and descriptions that completely captured the feelings of the patients at the mental hospital. I didn't like the ending at first, but I realize that the book wouldn't have been complete unless that was the way it was; it was inevitable.

Summary: This fictional insight to life was very realistic
Review: This was one of the greatest books that I have ever read. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" showed me what the inside of an asylum could be like. It also gave me an example of how one man could overcome an obstacle but still lose in the end. It made me more open-minded towards people who are different (like McMurphy's cohorts in the book.) After seeing the patients from the book's perspective, it made me wonder how 'crazy' they really were.

Rating:
Summary: respectable -- but dull
Review: One flew over the Cuckoos nest didn't impress me much. Ken Kessey is a respectable writer although his stories don't appeal to me. Yes, there were times when you were cheering certain characters on, but the whole book was less than I had expected. Although the ending was appropriate, it wasn't favorable(to me at least). When read out loud you caught the humor, but it was easy to miss otherwise. The author had good ideas, but for some reason this book didn't strike me.

Rating:
Summary: Worth Reading
Review: The book always keeps you guessing, when you think something is going to happen the opposite does. You can never put it down you always want to know what will happen. I recommend this book to anybody. The book shows stregnth of caracter and courage. The ending might through you off but it couldn't be anyother way. If you are looking for a good book to read read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

Summary: An imagionable insight of the world as a psycho sees it.
Review: I found this book to be an interseting masterpiece that kept me hooked from start to finish. The voice of Big Chief is destinctly unique, and a perfect tone for a narrator. The plot of the story is slow starting but captivating none the less. I would recomend this book to anyone, even to those who hate reading.

Summary: Makes me wanna fly too.
Review: Joe G

At the beginning of the book I was kind of iffy as to what I thought of it. As I got into the book more and more, I liked it more and more. I got into the story and felt as if I was good friends with chief and the gang. I felt sad when the nurse was mean, and happy when mcmurphy was goofy. Overall, I liked the book. I can understand why it is a classic and would recommend it to anyone who has any brains and could make sense of the book. Even if they didn't have a brain I would still recommend it to anyone if they didn't have a brain (although they would probably be a patient in the book). Mcmurphy reminded me of Patch Adams (which was a GREAT movie) in the way that he tried to help everyone.

Summary: This book was very different!!
Review: I liked this book because it was very different from other books that I have read in the past. My favorite part of the book was the fishing trip. They all became good friends and the all trusted McMurphy after the time they spent on the boat. I also liked the part about the party because for the first time they finally thought for themselves. It was the first time that they didn't depend on Big Nurse to make all of their decisions for them.

Rating:
Summary: A very realistic look at life.
Review: I loved this book. It showed strength on one man's behalf to overcome a tyrant in a world where he had no one.
