Summary: Greatest novel of the Twentieth Century
Review: Without a doubt, the greatest book I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Heller was, in my mind, a true genius. He not only changed my way of thinking in many respects, but inspired me to write in the hopes that I, too, might make someone think. I would like to point out that the absurdity and lack of logical progression that so many seem to find "pointless" were, in fact, the genius of the novel--they were meant to reflect the craziness of war. Sadly, it seems too many could still profit from reading this classic.

Summary: Powerful
Review: An disturbingly hilarious look into war. This novel is extremely entertaining, but with a dark undercurrent of death and the psychological horrors of war. One of the most powerful stories I have ever read.

Summary: I cant stand this book....
Review: I hate books with lots of characters. And this one had a ton. It seems like every chapter had five new people id "meet", then forget about a few chapters later. I kept reading it, but I just couldnt stand it. I stopped abut half-way through.

Summary: Simply the best
Review: This book is without a doubt the best book I've ever read. No other book was so easily accessible, so entertaining, so thought provoking and so funny as Joseph Heller's 'Catch 22' was. In it's bizarre clarity the book effortlessly tackles the futility and zaniness of life. It's a must for anyone - I think I'll read it again.

Summary: Next to Rabit
Review: For the MASH set, it's important to remember from where it all came. "Catch-22" is one of the ten or twenty novels that must be read to understand the...understand us. "Cantos" by pound; "Rabit" by Updike; "Grass" by Whitman. And in this period, Emerson is paramount "The American Scholar; Self Reliance"), followed by Dickinson. Irving wil give you appropriaate Dickinson.

Summary: Question authority - be happy! ... We'll miss you Joe
Review: I wrote to Mr. Heller a few months ago, telling him he was a major influence in getting me interested in reading and not juvenile crime. He wrote a small note thanking me. This book blooms with compassion, humanity and infectious wit. He will be missed.

Summary: Very subversive
Review: This book has helped keep me sane while living through some insane times. Once you read it, you will never look at the world the same way again. "The best there is" certainly describes Catch-22.

Summary: Certainly A Classic
Review: This is a book that really gets you thinking. It brings to the light how silly war is, and it does so in humorous manner. It's ironic ina sense that it sets things up and then completely blows it off. It humorously reveals the true army life, and makes fun of how sometimes in the army it only takes standing behind your general, not hard work, to climb the ranks. Also, it reveals many problems that society is faced with today, and need I say, it does so humorously.

Summary: Agravating Details
Review: I thought the book was well written and funny at the beginning, but at the end it became a little agravating. His humor used at the end came at the wrong times and kind of made your stomach turn. The book began as a light and funny comedy, but turned a touch revolting. The ending and beginning made up for it though so I gave it a 4 out of 5.
