One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is tells the story of Randle Mcmurphy, a loud, free spirited, rebellious, man that is sent to an Oregon psychiatric hospital for rehab. He is the opposite of the ward which demands comformity under the control of the Big Nurse. The novel Is told from a half indian, half white man that explains McMurphy's redemption tragedy. Ken Kesey utilizes symbolistic events and describes McMurphy almost as a Jesus like figure to the ward. Kesey uses a reaslistic, detailed style of writing that develop the characters well. The plot of the novel is well drawn out and for most is clear. I recommend the book to 15 and up as it displays more adult themes and language.
