The final reflection
What started in April has come to an end. Ken Kesey, the author of this book give us amazing characters with interesting personalities, which were mentioned that during the course of this blog. McMurphy, one of the best characters that I in books, along side with Atticus Finch from How to kill a Mockingbird. Also the story should be noted with a good speed and description and of course, that shocking and emotional ending.
One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest is not only refered as one of the best novels of the last century, but also can be said of all time. Personally, it became one of my favorites books thanks to all the elements I briefly mentioned in the first paragraph. It serves as a study of the institutional processes and the human mind.
While the movie adaptation is considered a masterpiece of cinema, the original book will remain always influential. What else can I say? Well... I am glad I read this book and I recomend it to everyone.

What is the meaning of the title?
It means ...
Given the fact that I already covered my opinions about the main characters, I think it is time for me, to explain my perception about the meaning of the title.
"One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest". The "cuckoo´s nest" is the hospital, where our story takes place and the one who flew is obviously McMurphy. He's a rebellious spirit who refuses to buckle under the rules, assiduously observed and applied by the head nurse, nurse ratchet, and is a constant source of free-thinking activity in violation of said rules.
His persona becomes uplifting, enlightening, freeing - much as a bird might inspire others to fly.
