 Rating:  - Nirse Ratched, the drag-queen of the rat-shed, with footnotesThis book deserves to be a classic and may remain one for quite a long time. The first reason is that it is an adventure book in a strange country, beyond all frontiers and borders, in a psychic world, that of an asylum. It is full of suspense and typically the fight between two people, an inmate, a man, on one hand, a nurse, a woman, on the other hand. Both white with the rest of the personnel being black and the rest of the inmates being europeans, except for one who is an Indian. Clear cut adventure ...

Rating: - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - A Must-Read!This book may not be uplifting, but is masterfully written because it grabs hold of the reader and does not let go. I could hardly put this book down, and when I did, the only thing I could think about was how much I hated the Big Nurse. She is truly one of the worst villains I have ever encountered in literature. She needed psychological help perhaps more than any of her mental patients. The symbolism and imagery used throughout the book was wonderful and I thought about this book long after I finished ... Read More Rating: - Baaaaaaa!I like how the story functions as a metaphorical apologia and still have an exacting terra incognita. When Broom describes the way Pete's hand turning into ball, he says that with a feeling like that was an excrescence, or an abnormal growth. He says everything like it was sweet as a cyclamen and cheap as a flophouse. In recapulation, the book was great. It shows a man's look from the outside of a place where he shouldn't be.
