Zbor deasupra unui cuib de cuci, romanul care a lăsat urme de neșters în literatura contemporană, este povestea zguduitoare a paciențlor dintr-un ospiciu condus cu mână de fier de sora-șefă Ratched, adepta unor metode de tratament barbare, precum electroșocurile și lobotomia. Singurul care i se opune este scandalagiul Randle Patrick McMurphy, simbolul revoltei împotriva autorității tiranice. Prin ochii altui pacient, șeful Bromden, un indian uriaș, asistăm la încleștarea dintre cei doi, care capătă proporții aproape mitologice.

This book was quite an amazing read. I loved following the adventures of McMurphy as he bucked against the system and tried to help those around him. Seeing through the eyes of Bromden with his psychedelic descriptions were like watching a Tom and Jerry cartoon and really made this story enjoyable.
Ken Kesey wrote an absolutely perfect story, the plot grips you asking what McMurphy will dare next, written from a perspective that happily contextualizes and compares the exploits of McMurphy, until the very end. This is a must read book for anyone interested psychiatry and a tribute to Ken Kesey's literary power.
Mielisairaalaan sijoittuva tarina tahtojen taistosta ja ihmisen taistelusta koneistoa vastaan. Osastolle tulee uusi potilas, joka ei alistu sääntöihin ja tekee kaikkensa saadakseen kovan linjan johtajahoitajan murtumaan. Tässä on aika paljon populaarikulttuurista tuttua oldskool-mielisairaalakuvastoa, ja voihan olla, että juuri tämä kirja (ja tästä tehty elokuvasovitus — sellainenkin ymmärtääkseni on) on paljon muovannutkin sitä, millaisina 1960-luvun mielisairaalat on mielletty. Ihan jees tarina, joskin päähenkilö ja hänen valitsemansa keinot eivät nyt aina niin hirveästi sympatiapisteitä saa.
