"You're not an idiot. Huh! You're not a goddamn looney now, boy. You're a fisherman!"

Love the movie, it's an absolute masterpiece and the tragic ending always upsets me so much.

Been wanting to read the book for years, here's me now finished and I loved it!

I was very surprised that the whole book was written in the Point of View of the character Chief Bromden.

Anyway, it gave more background information on the characters, loads more dialogue and it's only slightly different from the movie.

It's one of those books you could debate about for hours, highly recommend this excellent piece of literature (if you've not read it already)
