The novel "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is written by an American writer Ken Kessey. This writer is considered to be  one of the major writers of beat generation and the generation of  hippies. I am reading this book at the moment, and it made quite an interesting impression on me. There are a few reasons why I would recommend this book to read, and the reasons are a great plot and both interesting and heavy text.

The plot is interesting because the action takes place in a psychiatric hospital, the hero-narrator, Bromden, nicknamed as the leader is pretending to be deaf and dumb in order to survive in the hospital. Most patients could leave the hospital, but unfortunately they are afraid of the outside world, and everything changes when appears rowdy McMurphy, who seek to awake in them confidence and a desire to life.

The text is heavy to read because of the speaking language. Not all old dictionaries  have words you would like to translate so you need to have a good knowledge of the language. The novel is very metaphorical with many long descriptions in it. It is my opinion that this text is the best variant for those who study English philology to enrich their speech.

To sum up, I want to say that unfortunately I haven’t finished reading this book yet, so I don’t have a formed final opinion, but even in the very beginning of the book there is a desire to read it to the very end. I think that when I finish reading I will definitely share my opinion with you.
