One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Maybe I’ll be coherent once I stop crying. I’ll give it my best shot anyway.I had a love-dislike relationship with this book (as there was no point I in any way hated it), and I was pretty wary of it going in. I read this in my English class, and before we started, we got this full disclaimer about why we didn’t have to read it if we found it offensive and a run down of everything that was in it. (The group who chose not to read this read The Crucible–I ended up reading both books.) I already owned a copy, though, so I told myself, “What the heck; let’s see what happens.”And all the emotions; I wasn’t expecting to feel so much! Kesey tells a really beautiful story about growing up and learning to appreciate yourself. The writing, although confusing at times, told the story perfectly and really gave an inside perspective to the mind of the main character, however insane he may or may not be. And while yes, there were some parts that were incredibly iffy, I came away glad that I had chosen to read it.Read more?http://thaliasbooks.tumblr.com/post/24576172795/one-flew-over-the-cuckoos-nest-review
