This review is from: CliffsNotes on Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Paperback)

I found this very helpful. Holland's includes full summeries of each part of the book which are easy to read and understand even if you haven't read the novel yet, and which provide good insites for those (like myself) who sometimes have difficulty picking things out.The 'Special Topics' section covers the Machine, point of view, the title, religious imagery, and the role of women. The Character anaysis includes the Nurse, Bromden, McMurphy, Billy, and Harding. There is also a character list, introduction, and author background. There are review questions in the back.The only thing it really lacks is a glossary. I defently recomend getting this to accompany the fab literary work that is One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

This book was excellent! I wasn't required to read it for school. However, we did just happen to watch the movie in my ethics class. It was great! Nicholson did a wonderful job portraying McMurphy. Basically, the jist of this book is that McMurphy has gotten himself into some trouble. No one can figure it out if he is a criminal or crazy. So he gets placed in the mental institution where he thinks everything is a party until he finds out he cannot leave until they release him. The book really isn't too hard to follow, but if reading it for school, I would reccomend the Cliff Notes. They always have those great hidden ironies! I don't want to give away the ending, so I highly suggest getting the cliff notes, reading the book, or even just watching the movie! It is worth your efforts!

This review is from: CliffsNotes on Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Paperback)

In my life, there are four books I have read twice - Huckleberry Finn, Catcher in the Rye, Lord of the Rings and One flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. It is a masterpiece. Unforgettable characters and poignant scenes make this a wonderful read. The faux world series, for example, is inspired. Once in a long while a book unfolds at a wholly unexpected level of artistry. This is such a book.
