Rating: 4/10 (10 July 2000)

I gave this a four. I couldn't go higher, for one reason.
The book is SO MUCH BETTER. The differences between the book and the film are plenty, but in every instance, the book does it better. The story is told better. You get a much much much much much better sense of the back-and-forth war between Ratchet and McMurphy. The Chief didn't even go with them on the boat! Ridiculous. Not a bad film, but basically I filled everything that was missing in with what I knew from the novel.
If you liked the story in the movie a lot, you'll love the book a hell of a lot more.
