Best book I've ever read.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Ken Kessey


This book was incredible. Very few books can recat such varried emotions in the span of a few pages, and I think that classifies this as a classic. Within the last few pages, I was honestly holding back laughter one moment, and holding back tears the next. You feel for the characters much more than in the movie, so while it does have the same outcome, it is much more powerful in this medium. Being from the semi-sane point of view of Chief Bromden also added a unique feel to the book that the movie lacked. Great book, highly recomended.

I read this book this year too. I had to choose a book out of the library for my book report, and I picked this one. I instantly fell in love with this book. I couldn't put it down! After I read the book, I watched the movie, and surprisingly loved it just as much as the book! Mainly because Nurse Rached is a bitch!

great book ..

Follow it up with To Kill A Mockingbird and Catcher in the Rye and you've just read what could arguably be considered 3 of the greatest american novels.

Read Haunted by Chuck Palaniuk, no spoilers but it actually made me a little queasy which is quite an accomplishment. Keep this in mind when you read about the kid stuck in the pool (that all I'm sayin')
