One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey The last book I have read it is “One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest” by Ken Kesey. I watched the movie a long time ago and recently found out that there is a book. I read most of my books in electronic way because I’m poor student and can’t buy all books that I like. Actually, I prefer at first read the book and then decided if it is worth buying. There are many novels that are very popular but I don’t like them. But in this case I knew that I will love it. I saw the book in a small underground shop. It cost me only 30 grivnas. Like two good ice creams. Book or ice cream? The answer is obvious. The story is about an asylum. Most of people are there by their own wish. They can go any minute but they are afraid of outside world. The main character is Bromden. Indian man who presents himself deaf and mute. It is his way to fight with system. He knows all their secrets, the way how The Machine works. It really scares him. The quiet life of ill people was broken by MacMurphy. The person who just does not fits in the asylum. MacMurphy gives to Bromden a hope and power to become Big Man again. Nurse represents the loyal follower of the Fabric. She has never shown her weakness. Her weapon is her patience and restraint. She never abuse but you always feel guilty. The way Randle fight with Nurse is unusual for people of hospital. He openly expressed his protest. Sometimes he lucks, for example, when he organized the fishing for all his friends. But eventually she wins. He died not physically but mentally. He can’t fight anymore. Author gives us a hope when Bromden has a chance to escape and use it. It shows that system has weaknesses, a chance to escape. I’ve read it within few days. The book is exciting, the narration is slow but tension. I like book like this. Some kind of anti-utopia, the story about the person and the Factory. The main question is whether the person wins or breaks. This fight could last forever in many different variations of characters and stories but the main point is still the one. The system always wins. One way or another. You can run away but it will find you anyway. The problem of freedom, real freedom and the system that limit our lives. It’s no matter that the possibility of winning is miserable you should try to win.
