A really interesting book and unlike anything I’ve read before. You do have to look over the 1960s racism and sexism but there are some really interesting characters. Ending felt a little abrupt, but worked. Looking forward to watching the film at some point!

Innerworking that are object-able. The coded gears beneath should-be proto skin. Synthetic seam at a hammer of pre-ordered bodies. Things that are made, things that are re-made because then you become the manufacturer. Keys, set functions, lines and lines of organized meatless piles sucked from each human form to be replaced with an exoskeleton replica. Washed sacks, re-used and re-filled under order. Sudden bursts of organic thought rip through and excruciate the mechanism, a hose no longer of rubber but snakeskin. He has no use for them to be inanimate so he takes spare cues to unsettle and resettle their build. Resurfacing an emptiness for his own gain. To pull out the idea that you were always so cleanly built and ruin it with his calloused hidden glaives. Given in cutting to take the power that they had given away so freely in the first place. Not owed power, not power coming to them but the power for them to be. To know what is and to control what rules it is believed to be played by. Picking up the whole of ticking-sticking machines as if there is a chance to move anything more than what is point-of-fact, human-ly poss-ible. Actually, all he wants to do is open the window. The pain of settling in overcrowding him and his soul. A wisecrack that can't do anything because he's afraid of knowing exactly what to do and using it. What good is holding if you can't use? A knowledge in a pattern, shape, frame without someone nice enough to let me borrow a hammer. Thrown through us. We ran with you con because it was all you could give us and you knew it was the only thing you had that we could take.

Great imagery, but I couldn’t really get into this one. Time and setting had a lot to do with that. This is a rainy-Sunday-in-late-fall read, not a sunny-and-75-summer-day read. My bad.
This book is a disjointed slog with weird slang and unlikeable characters. Shocked by all the high reviews honestly.
No sé muy bien como reseñar este libro porque tengo un sentimiento ambivalente. Además, sé que a mucha gente le encanta este libro y que una vez más la mía puede ser una opinión controversial.
Me gustó el narrador (Jefe Bromden) y McMurphy es obviamente un personaje carismático. El libro está realmente lleno de acontecimientos y fue divertido ver las idas y venidas entre McMurphy y la enfermera Ratched. Aprecio los temas metafóricos sobre la resistencia a la autoridad, lo que constituye la locura, la autonomía y la dignidad. Sin embargo, hubo momentos en que el estilo de escritura me aburría y me daban ganas de saltar párrafos. No me terminó de gustar la forma en la que se habla de las mujeres y la, desde mi punto de vista exagerada, maldad de Ratched.
De todos modos, todavía no estoy completamente segura de cuál es mi opinión al respecto. Me divirtió y me aburrió al mismo tiempo, si tiene sentido alguno.
