From an author's perspective, this is one of the finest books with an unreliable narrator I've ever come across.The story, set in a mental hospital, is told by Chief Bromden, or Chief Broom as he's called by the staff. Chief Broom is a huge Indian who never says a word, so he's assumed to be deafmut...
SO much better than the movie.

You're tempted to call it a young adult book, just because it's a bit obvious for a grown-up. With the asylum metaphor, and the Combine, and just...
Surprisingly more anti-establishment than the movie. Ken Kesey's original screenplay for the movie wasn't accepted for some reason.
