One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey

3.0

challenging dark reflective sad tense slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I listened to the audiobook and not sure how I feel about this one. The story is well written with beautiful imagery but I didn’t find any of the characters lovable and even though this book was written over half a century ago, the blatant racism was hard to get past and made me cringe throughout the book.
