Another Banned Book

The Grapes Of Wrath
John Steinbeck

The great depression was sweeping through the country, but it was hitting hardest in the "dust bowl" a place in the mid west United States. A young man is released from prison on parole and he is trying to find his family who live in the mid west. When he finally catches up to them they tell him that they want to go to California. They embark on a great road trip to California, a trip filled with birth, death, sorrow, and joy.

A great book, but defiantly a book for a matured reader because it is very long. It can be hard to follow at times because it switches narrator perspectives a lot. However it is a good classic book and it really shows you how important family is and that you should always keep going even when the going gets tough.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Ken Kesey

Chief Bromden or "Chief Broom" to the black boys at the Combine Mental Ward, has been committed for longer than any other patient that enters the ward. His world revolves around a schedule nothing out of the ordinary, receiving his medication cleaning and eating. But that all changes when a new patient enters the ward. His name is Randle Patrick McMurphy, a fun loving, fighting Irishman; and he is focused on turning the whole ward upside down starting with the head nurse a large tyrannical woman name Mrs. Ratched.

This was a very good book, I enjoyed reading it and getting to know the narrator. The book is in first person so it can be hard to follow at times. It can get confusing, but it is defiantly a book worth sticking to with a great ending. I would recommend this book to the older readers as this  book is really not for kids.
