One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Ken Kesey, New Edition (Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations (Paperback))

I think it is an interesting story. It talks about how many of us go through the motions of life and life is confusing. Many times we just go along with the rules to make life easy. Going along with those in charge is easier than fighting. It takes courage to stand up and do what you want.

I felt that this book was extremely well written. I enjoyed the entire book from start to finish. I liked how Kesey used McMurphy to make all the characters stronger, and I really liked when the Chief finally broke his silence. I felt that was very important, and it showed that McMurphy had a positive effect on the people around him. I enjoyed the end of the book when the Chief escaped by throwing the control panel through the window, a seemingly impossible feat. When he smothered McMurphy it made sense because McMurphy would have never wanted the nurse to get the better of him, he'd rather be dead. I rank this book a 5 and i would recommend it to any reader who enjoys to read.
