One Flew over the Cuckoos nest is a great read, but if you want to experience it, just get a job with Food services, at Western U!

I am currently writing a 10 page research paper comparing these two books, so I can tell you a little about both. Cuckoo's Nest is a great book, which focuses a lot on ambiguity and an unreliable narrator. It is funny, and a pleasure to read. Catch-22 is personally one of my top three favorite books. It is incredibly hilarious, and the characters are what makes this book a masterpiece (especially because the plot involves a few events that repeated numerous times.) The end is extremely dark, which will bring the book to what I think is not a great, but satisfying conclusion. Hopefully you have fun, these are both great books!

I haven't read Catch 22 but One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is hilarious. I loved reading that book! At some parts it may seem boring but the rest of the novel makes up for it. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. If you want to know more or less if you'll like the book you can always watch the movie.

I haven't read Catch-22, but Cuckoo's Nest was excellent.

The books are both very funny. If you are in high school you have been introduced to satire and irony, you will find examples of both in both books. Asa you read Catch 22 ... pay attention to the names, Heller was having fun when he gave names to his characters.
Both books were made into movies. One Flew Over was a great movie, not quite the same as the book. Catch 22 was a good movie for people who had read the book.
Be ready for laughs.

Ken Kesey's "Cuckoo's Nest" is a must read. The movie was very good, but the book was amazing.

Catch is a lol funny, especially if you served in the military and have seen the insanity first-hand. Can't say about Nest.
