I picked this book up because it was listed as a classic, and I was in need of a good read. This book has several moments of disturbing events intertwined with great formative memories. Told through the gentle narration of "Chief", you won't want to put this book down, no matter how squeamish you are. Maybe it was because I was sick while reading the book, but I was not expecting the ending. Nevertheless, this is a solid read.

A classic man against society novel. Loved it.

absolutely amazing!

Awesome book, I really enjoyed reading this one, the characters were great, and the story was excellent (and the movie based on this novel was enjoyable as well).

I work at FSH and found the book to be an insight into the way mental health patients were treated not so long ago and are still treated in some places. I'm happy to say that those practices are no longer used today.

Absolutely one of my favorite books! A must read for everyone!
