 The people of the Psychiatric Ward are a timid folk. They rarely speak and, when they do, it’s to tattle on someone in exchange for a reward. They stay separated from each other, with the Chronics on one side of the room and the Acutes on another. The Big Nurse meticulously plans each day out for them, and each day is as monotonous as the last. All of this changes abruptly, however, when Randle P. McMurphy becomes one of the men committed to the Psychiatric Ward. McMurphy does nothing but stir up trouble, day in and day out. He punches his fist through glass, brings gambling to the ward, and even speaks of breaking out of the ward. Everyone, staff included, soon begins to see that he’s not quite like the rest of the patients; there’s really nothing wrong with him at all. That doesn’t stop the Big Nurse from trying to control him, though, and what she does to finally gain that control is absolutely mind-boggling…in a very literal sense.

What makes One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest the most unique book that I have ever read is the narrator isn’t the main character at all, but a supposed deaf-mute that watches from the sidelines until the very end. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a change of pace in what he or she is reading. Be warned though: there is some explicit language used in this book, so if that’s not something that you care for maybe you should find a different book to read.
