Who's crazy??

A wonderful novel in which an unreliable narrator allows us to see a truth far greater than any straight accounting of events would ever allow. There’s a reason this novel is a classic, and it is deserving of the praise it has received. The first 20 pages or so might be a little bit slow, but overall One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is a charming, challenging, heartfelt look at the complications of living in a modern society, told from the perspective of characters who failed to rise to those challenges. It is not to be missed. ( )

what needs to be said other than this book is perfect, constructed with care, writen with depth and the story is heart renching. why this book is not taught in schools i have no idea. ( )

This is the most flawless book I have ever read. (Not the best--though probably in my top ten--but flawless, and efficient.) I went back a second time and could not find a spare sentence, not a spare word.

I also went back to study how he conveyed Nurse (Ratched?), because she was so indelible, and I also recalled her coming across so quickly. She is there on the first page--page 3 of the book, I believe, or thereabouts. In one page, everything Louise Fletcher conveyed in the film--which was brilliant--was already there. Stunning.

And the book never lets up. It is masterful from the first page to the last. ( )
