Such a heart breaking read, I couldn't help but falling inlove with the characters, even though they are deeply flawed, maybe because of that. 

I believe that this book is especially about sexual repression. Women and men who are demonized by their use of sexuality. It is because of this sexism that no one can be free.

Also, nurse Ratched is properly evil, definitely one of the highlights of the book and one of my favourite villains. I highly recommend this book.
