About this listen
A 50th-anniversary edition of Ken Kesey's searing American classic.
Boisterous, ribald, and ultimately shattering, Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest has left an indelible mark on the literature of our time. Turning conventional notions of sanity and insanity on their heads, the novel tells the unforgettable story of a mental ward and its inhabitants, especially tyrannical Big Nurse Ratched and Randle Patrick McMurphy, the brawling, fun-loving new inmate who resolves to oppose her. We see the story through the eyes of Chief Bromden, the seemingly mute half-Indian patient who witnesses and understands McMurphy's heroic attempt to do battle with the powers that keep them all imprisoned.
Hailed upon its publication as a "glittering parable of good and evil" (The New York Times Book Review) and a "roar of protest against middlebrow society's Rules and the invisible Rulers who enforce them" (Time), Kesey's powerful book went on to sell millions of copies and remains as bracing and insightful today as when it was first released. This new deluxe audio edition commemorates the 50th anniversary of the original publication of the novel on February 1, 1962, and will be a must have for any literature lover.

really great narration and story!
as with the title of the review, John C Reilly is probably my favourite narrator now, too bad he hasn't narrated much books.
Actual story is great too!

fan freaking tastic!
The narrator was incredible. I knew everyone by voice - and the emotion!
The way the author describes impressions and exchanges between characters is something you can't live without experiencing. This is my new favorite book.

Excellent
I loved everything about this book. It's a true classic. The narration was fantastic. It's a fascinating journey into the world as it is perceived by every individual in the story. This book is still so very relevant as human psychology hasn't changed. it just goes to show that human beings are as fragile today as they were when this book was written, maybe even more so.
