I read this for the first time a long time ago, and i just finished reading it again for the second time with my little sister. this book is very interesting and it has a very eerie feel to it at times. I enjoy the writing style of it, as it's very descriptive in a way that's not too clunky or hard to read. Would definitely recommend for anyone 9+ who enjoys a slightly eerie fantasy!

This books is a little slow compared to the rest of the series but it's a perfect start/introduction. I really love the depth of all the characters in this story as a lot of the characters seem to have moral ambiguity. I definitely recommend everyone give these a try they are just that enjoyable.

I loved the writing style of this book and the plotting was very clever. all of the characters have deep personalities and the main characters are very lovable. The concept of futuristic A.I is done in a way I haven't seen before and I enjoyed it very much. This book is great for anyone who enjoys dystopian books and/or books with unexpected twists.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is a famous Oscar-winning movie, but the book on which it was based is a very different work. The story is centered around the lasting power of one person’s actions on people around him, after his arrival at a psychiatric ward. This new patient is Radle McMurphy, a redheaded troublemaker who starts fights to get away from the work farm. He is markedly different from everyone else who has walked through the double doors. Chief Bromden is half-Indian and exceedingly large and strong. Rather than inspiring fear and respect, he is pretty much ignored by everyone around him because of the assumption that he is deaf and dumb—making him the perfect narrator. His narration (not dumb but articulate) is unique because the symbolism doesn’t stay confined to some incorporeal place that is hidden by the author; it makes its way into the real world as concrete hallucinations. This means his reasoning is sometimes twisted, also that the comparisons he makes are remarkably apt. This is the genius of the book, the main thing Kesey was angry at the filmmakers for changing. Bromden tells the story of how, over the course of several months, McMurphy tries to overturn the stifling order created by Nurse Ratched—a microcosm of the Combine, which in Bromden’s mind, is the oppressive force that has infected society and taken away individuality and even humanity. Both his actions and her reactions escalate as the book progresses. It is a battle of wills, but also between order and disorder. As for the actual reading experience, the development of themes and symbols is surprisingly straightforward once you get past the first part. The pacing is close to perfect after Part One. This book lacks traditional chapters; instead it is divided into parts, an approach that honestly makes a lot of sense. This is also not a straightforward hero story, as the costs of rebellion are clearly shown. I think knowing this information adds to the suspense of the book, so I won’t count this as a spoiler.
