Snoggera's Official Review: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
I had an entire, deeply felt, review written, but I lost it in the electronic world somewhere. I felt a bit, no, more than that, I felt PISSED OFF.

That is where the main character of this movie is coming from. He is not insane. He is "disagreable" and not one to follow patterns and rules. of course, anytime one disagrees, there will be someone who believes in the rules to the extent that they cannot listen or think beyond their narrow band of knowledge.

Those who protest are sometimes not only detested, but there are found ways to destroy them.

Those who are quiet, yet thoughtful, may have the upper hand.

There are ways to defeat the evil "Ratchets" of the world, but it isn't easy, and requires much thought.



This review is nowhere nearly as perceptive as the one that was lost,but here it is.

3. I read the book three times....
It is a masterpiece of symbolic social commentary that is also very entertaining. It is one of my favorite books.

Ken Kesey rocked.
