Publisher's Summary
On one side is Big Nurse, who rules her ward with iron discipline. On the other is Randle Patrick McMurphy, a lustful, brawling, life-loving new inmate who refuses to knuckle under to Big Nurse's soul-destroying methods. In the end, McMurphy pays the ultimate price for his defiance, but not before the rebellious spirit has shown Chief Bromden the way to reclaim his future.

good book terrible narrator
Tried listening to this as I read along with the original novel, but the audiobook skips sentences and phrases and sometimes even complete paragraphs and key ideas. Use the audio book narrated by John C. Reilly instead.

Skips Paragraphs
What disappointed you about One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?
I liked the book but the audiobook skipped many paragraphs so it was impossible to read along with my copy of the book
Has One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest put you off other books in this genre?
No, but it has put me off other audiobooks as I don't want to read another book that skips parts.
How could the performance have been better?
Ken Kesey sounded drunk whilst reading and skipped parts
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?
NONE! I'm complaining about the fact scenes were cut.
Any additional comments?
Frankly the audiobook was a disappointment.

feeling ripped off
Half of the narrative is missing!
this fellow ripped off his version of Ken keseys work.
I think he fancys him self as a mcmurphy.
skipped narrative so he could get to do mcmurphys dialogue.

Great writer, horrible narrator
The story is great but it's read out by the author and he is an obnoxious narrator. Constantly yawning, speeding up and down and laughing.
