Really recommend it [/quote] I LOVED this book. You really get a feel for the difficulties the main character goes through (at times you want to shake her ...

[quote user="one_step_closer"]One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest  - Ken Kesey[/quote]   I read this book while studying my English A level and I absolutely loved it. It's terrifying, funny and moving all at once and the film version (although fantastic in its own right) didn't quite capture that feeling of haziness ...
