About this product

Product Information

Chief Bromden, half American-Indian, whom the authorities believe is deaf and dumb, tells the story of a mental institution ruled by Big Nurse on behalf of the all-powerful Combine. Into this terrifying grey world comes McMurphy, a brawling gambling man, who wages total war on behalf of his cowed fellow-inmates. What follows is at once hilarious and heroic, tragic and ultimately liberating. Since its first publication in 1962, Ken Kesey's astonishing first novel has achieved the status of a contemporary classic. Kesey can be funny, he can be lyrical, he can do dialogue, and he can write a muscular narrative. In fact there's not much better come out of America in the sixties...If you haven't already read this book, do so. If youhave, read it again - Douglas Eadie, Scotsman .

    I don't understand this question as the title is the title. I have reviewed the book already

    I read the book with some enjoyment although the ending was shocking. I never saw the film as the subject matter was not something I wanted to spend time watching. I found the depth of characterisation compelling and enjoyed the experience of the read. I still have no wish to see the film.

    Very good condition is not the standard that it used to be on WOB. Have bought many books but more and more disappointed. Pages all brown/yellow, cove

    Very good condition is not the standard that it used to be on WOB. Have bought many books but more and more disappointed. Pages all brown/yellow, cover creased. Not nice to read.

  • Writing is minuscule

    I think it would be helpful to have known that the text in this old book is extremely small. I can’t really enjoy the story as I struggle to read it 😞.
