One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey


Have you read it? and did you like it??

I actually enjoyed it. Somehow I knew McMurphy would be a "tragic hero". I'm writing a Critical Analysis of it in College English. My topic is the individual vs. social control




Rule #32.
Enjoy the little things.

Yes, I read it sort of twice - the first time for fun and i really just couldn't get into it and didn't/couldn't make it further than page 7.

The second time was for class (so i was forced to) and I'm glad i did - it's a great book that really got me thinking what 'normal' really is. Sad about McMurphy, and yes you could see it coming but I was really hoping that he didn't have to be 'sacrificed' to teach the others a lesson.

A friend of mine told me that this had been made into a movie. He loved it...
I didn't know that it was a novel too.
When he told me the name of the movie, I thought he was pulling my leg :lol:
