Lindsey Grossman - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

For my summer reading I chose Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I chose this book because I had heard that the movie was really good and, from my experience, the book is almost always better. When I began reading I was thoroughly confused by Kesey's style of writing. The book is written from the perspective of one of the patients at the asylum, and this particular patient is quite paranoid. He is often speaking of things that are not real and this causes for a very confusing beginning to the novel. As the story progresses and there is more of a plot it gets easier to follow, and although this book took me a while to get through, I would definitely recommend it to other people and say that it was a very good story and I can't wait to see the movie!
