reviewed One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey (Modern Classics)

Unmatched modern classic

Ken Kesey wrote an absolutely perfect story, the plot grips you asking what McMurphy will dare next, written from a perspective that happily contextualizes and compares the exploits of McMurphy, until the very end. This is a must read book for anyone interested psychiatry and a tribute to Ken Kesey's literary power.
