One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

-Font's review and questions about the novel by Ken Kesey

Ken Kesey's novel,   One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, is one of epic proportion.  It has subject matter that has not yet been delt with in any other novel.  I can't say the book didn't shock me, because that would be a lie that wouldn't ever leave my mind and I'd end up killing myself for lying.  I could say that a book was a piece of shit and not worry the hell out of it, but with a book that is truly great, you can't lie without remorse.  This is one of those books.  I can't get it out of my head, the fog, the smell and everything else that makes it what it is.

I couldn't get through fifty pages without trying to hold my bladder in.  I was ready to burst and would have if I hadn't cut myself.   One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a book that will stay with you.  You can't put it down for fear that you'll miss something.  I was amazed at how it took me in and wouldn't let go.
