Summary: Fantastic, Brilliant, Clever, Amazing
Review: THE cleverest book EVER written. Heller is a true genius-hilarious at the same time as being poignant. A disturbingly real look at the horrors of war, THE epitemy of satire in literature. He scrutinises all aspects of war with a frightening ingenuity and realism, which is funny as well as tragic. I love Joseph Heller! On lives Yossarian!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My favorite book
Review: Yes, this book takes a great memory to keep characters straight and a lot of time to get through, but it is the funniest book I have ever read. I have read it twice now, and it was even funnier the second time. Like a review on the back of the book says, the book will outrage as many people as it delights. You may hate it, but I think most people will laugh out loud when reading it. It is definitly worth a try.

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.

Rating: 5 stars
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.

Rating: 1 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
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.
