All yours Narzain.

Roger-dokey, sarge.

I'm about halfway through right now, and am liking it so far. I enjoy the perspective of Chief's paranoia and how it colors what he sees and hears.

More later as I form a coherent opinion.

So, I finished it about a week ago and finally got a chance to post again. I did enjoy the entire book. I consider it an intriguing look at both the mental health care industry at the time and the interaction between people who see things just that little bit differently from the "normal."

POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW


Is is primarily the story of two strong personalities (McMurphy and Nurse Ratched) in conflict? Or is it more about Chief's awakening and a passing of the torch? Well, that's the question, isn't it?

I think you take away from it which ever perspective you think is right, like "Doubt."
