Summary: It's all about the Big Chief!!! Stephanie S.
Review: I really enjoyed the entire book. I especially liked the ending the best. The author wrote the book according to his needs. He didn't think about what people wanted to read. This book teaches you to actually think for yourself, if you already couldn't. I think everything that happened in this book was mentioned somewhere in the text before the incident. I would reccomend this book to anyone that has some type of intelligence. If you don't this book will really confuse you!!!!

Summary: The ending made me cry.
Review: When it comes right down to it, it's not that the book was sad, but what it had to say about our society. All along I knew that McMurphy wasn't going to win, but I wanted him to. I rooted for him to get to the nurse; I wanted to see her crack. But it didn't. Instead we spent the whole book watching these people break out of their shells, to revolt against authority, and they don't. After McMurphy disappeares, they all give up and go home. I wanted them to stay and fight.

Summary: a good book.
Review: i liked the book a lot. I think it had a lot of good messages about how society is. There were many fun scenes in the book. Big Chief was an interesting main character. I did not like the way the book ended but it was still a good book.

Summary: Puts you in the mind frame of the crazy
Review: I really enjoyed reading this book. I thought it was really funny, and well written. This is definatly a book I would have read outside of school even if it were not assigned to me. I don't recommend watching the movie along with it because it takes away the best parts from the book.

Summary: more like.. one flew head on into the nest.....
Review: and knocked itself out....I dislike this book greatly! and here is a big shock.. I cant argue those of you that adore it. Yes I see the sybolism...no I dont think Kesey is a bad writer..in fact he is a wonderful writer... I just dont agree with the book. still..Kesey has done his job. If a writer gets any type of a reply from his readers..does that not mean that they are at least reading what he wrote?

Summary: Feeling like being in a mental institution for beginners.
Review: Here we go: Society is a bunch of "bull goose loonies" in a mental institution. This is the statement Ken Kesey states in this well-written novel. The author perfectly lets you see his world, and the ward, of course, out of the view of a paranoid Native American. Not just that you really believe the things "Big Chief" sees, but you can understand the other inmates, too. Matt S.

Summary: I am a product of the COMBINE!!!
Review: I really enjoyed my flight over the cuckoo's nest! Ken Kesey has one of the most unique and thought provoking styles of writing I have had the pleasure of reading. His descriptions and deplictions of the characters and situations are amazing in the sense that he sees things as no one else would, and writes things like no one else would think to. By writing the story in Big Chief's prospective, he allows the reader to dwell in the mind of a "deaf and dumb" man who hears everything. I loved this novel not only because of the expressive and original text, but because it completely took over my life!! I read this book with my Modern Novel class, and we all agreed that after we started reading it, we began to look for connections in our life. Personally, I STILL look for ways "the combine" is trying to control my life!! Reading about the progress of Big Chief and the others, and the way even a nontraditional hero, like McMurphy can change the lives of "loonies" gives hope that even rebels can change the bad into better.

Summary: Pass me the Advil, I have a headache.
Review: This book only deserves one star for the fact that it gave me something to occupy my time for a minute. It was so hard to get into. I love to read, I read constantly. But I've never read a book that I hate with every fiber of my being, until now! I would like to have a book burning.

Summary: Wow is all I can say!
Review: This was such an awesome book!!! I absolutely loved Billy Bibbit and McMurphy. The story was so deep when you think about it. The way McMurphy drew the men in the ward out of their shells, and helped them was honorable. He was a suprise hero; no one could have expected him to be so honorable. Ken Kesey is an amazing writer, and I only wish I could compare. The book was so poetic and flowed so well. Somehow he even managed to put a ray of joy under the saddness.

Summary: This book is my bible
Review: This book is absolutely wonderful. It took over my life. Everywhere I went I found things that reminded me of this book. It was quite difficult to understand at first because much of the dialogue and thoughts of Big Chief were uncomprehendable. But once you got used to it, it was very exciting and fun to read. I recommend this book to everyone!!!!
