Good guide for reading A Clockwork Orangefiction Taya24 Read

This story is told through the eyes of Chief Bromden who lives in a psychiatric hospital. The hospital is under command of Nurse Ratchet who keeps the patients in line with the threats of electroshock therapy and lobotomy. But this all changes when McMurphy arrives and teaches the rest of the patients how to live again and shows them that they hold the power in their lives, not Nurse Ratchet.

I love this book because I think it really empowers the people in it to take charge in their own lives. And McMurphy is one of my favorite literary characters because of how much he cares for the other patients and what he does for them. This book also introduces the idea that what we think is insane, may not be. Now of course mental hospitals are more advanced and they don't have any of the cruelties they used too. But it made me question our society's idea of 'sane' and 'insane.' This book also introduced me to what used to go on in mental hospitals. I didn't realize just how awful they used to be, and the mental hospitals could have actually made sane people insane. The treatments that they had allowed for people Nurse Ratchet to assert herself over other people, when she should have been helping them. It just shows how corrupt people can be when they have power over others.taya Austin Aguinaga1 review

SPOILER ALERT!!!
this book is a good read. This book catches my attention right from the start because of its peculiar plot and setting. This book has many laugh out loud moments and i will tell you that there is some pretty colorful language in this book. By the end of the book it becomes very serious and sad especially when the main character gets killed. i really love the part when McMurphy takes the patients fishing because this shows that he is a very fun guy and is willing to break the rules. This incident really makes me love McMurphy he is a loud and outgoing individual! Plus, i really love that he does what he wants and he makes this book intersting. I really wish that McMurphy wouldnt of died because i would of loved to see what he does outside of the institution. Im really unsure still why Chief killed McMurphy? Chris83

Through the first 70 percent of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, I was convinced it was going to get a solid three stars. My biggest issue with the book was how often the momentum stalled out--every time I found myself wrapped up in the power struggle between McMurphy and Nurse Ratched, a 12-page Chief Bromden dreamscape would appear. The central plot has more than enough subtext without including the nebulous, metaphorical ramblings that make up a solid 20 percent of the content.

But, in the end, McMurphy saved both Chief Bromden and the book from the plague of dreams. The overwhelming sense of doom kept me reading, even though I knew what was coming. And, when the end did come, it was both depressing and strangely triumphant.

Always nice when a classic proves worth reading. Tom Sorge2

A must read book. I'm not much of an avid reader but I had this book suggested to me by a teacher and this was easily the best book I've ever read. The choice of the narrator down to every last character is perfect. The book takes place in an insane asylum and the narrator is completely off the deep end but though he's insane on some deeper level everything he sees and interprets makes sense and really gets you thinking about the world and its workings. A very Psychological and Philosophical book all in all, even if you're not into either of those when you read this trust me, you will be after. Leslie6

I didn't want to read this book because I'd seen the movie and knew the ending, but picked it up on an impulse anyways. I started reading and couldn't stop. Kesey's writing moves. The story, the characters, are exceptional. Narrated by the "Chief," we get a glimpse inside his head and see the central conflict of the book, the battle between McMurphy and the Big Nurse, through his eyes. Dalia28

The role of friendship and sacrifice is a universal strength that can overcome any tyranny. It is the weapon of the weak. J182
