Antes de que sus experiencias con LSD y las andanzas al frente de los Alegres Pillastres contadas por Tom Wolfe en Ponche de ácido lisérgico le convirtieran en uno de los personajes más míticos de la cultura «underground» de los años sesenta, Ken Kesey ya había publicado dos magníficas novelas: "Alguien voló sobre el nido del cuco" y "A veces un gran impulso".

Review of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A classic tale into the human mind; I was quite fond on the movie but the book was way different and much more interesting. A dark and at times humorous look into a Psychiatric hospital and the institution processes used in this asylum. This was a story of the fine balance between treatment and processes; there is a balance between healing the mind and just controlling the patients.

I was very interested in the way these patients lived and how their healing process was disrupted at times by the doctors and nurses. I’m not an expert with mental health but I think I gained an insight into just how fragile the human mind can be. This book was really enjoyable and would recommend it to anyone interested in psychology.
