Summary: DON'T WAIT, READ IT NOW!!!
Review: It is one of the greatest book I ever read. It teaches everything one needs to know about life, mainly catch-22. If you haven't read it yet, you don't know what you are missing. I'm sure this book will give you a whole new reading experience. Hillarious, Funny, yet Disturbing.

Summary: Phenomenal
Review: This is the single greatest book I have read. I laughed a lot, but I was touched by the last sections. The book was very pessimistic and sarcastic, much like Catcher in the Rye and Slaughterhaouse-5, but even more entertaining than those. I especially enjoyed the chapter on Leutenaint Scheiskopf. MUST READ!

Summary: An Insipid Bore
Review: Since I didn't like this book it is guaranteed that they would not put my comment on the web site. This book just tries too hard to be funny without any attempt to build on the storyline and the characters. Unfortunately this was twenty bucks I won't get back. I would like to beg anyone planning to actually read this book to not, one of the most absurd things was attempted in this novel and it failed miserably: to look at the lighter side of war.

Summary: Was Yossarian related to Holden Caulfield????
Review: Catch-22 was easily one of the greatest masterpieces I've had the enjoyment of reading. The book will make you laugh, cry, and make you eager to read on. Of course though this book along with every other book imaginable isn't for every audience out there. For one thing veterans are sure as hell to hate it since the whole book makes a mockery of the military, and I also feel that people who are acute to profanity and sexual situations [are there such people?] wouldn't like to read this book. Young people such as myself are sure to love the book though; if they like to read to begin with. On a final note, I'd also like to say that Yossarian's cynicism reminds me very much of the character Holden Caulfield, the boy from the story The Catcher in the Rye (which is another one of my personal favorites). To those people who've read CITR then Catch-22 is for you.

Summary: The most cynical book I have ever read
Review: Heller has used humour as a powerful tool to make the ultimate anti-war statement.Simply put: even if one dies a hero's death during war [which incidentaly may involve killing several other fellow humans- the more the merrier ] the qualifying phrase is " dead " -even if a billion people consider you to be a hero - it will hardly make any difference since you are not alive to feel heroic or for that matter "feel" anything at all. Catch-22 in its absurdly funny way and with the blackest possible humour teaches us this simple but sad truth.

Summary: By the way - I love the book
Review: To the reader from main Street USA (who I strongly suspect either didn't read the book, or didn't understand it)1 - The Military IS evil - though not neccesarily the individuals within it. 2 - not evertone in the military is an idiot - just the ones that aren't evil 3 - Not everyone who mocks the military is heroic - but anyone who does it as well as Heller (or Yossarian, if you like) certainly is the reason you hate this book is because you and your philosphy are its targets. I am sure Heller would hate a reactionary idiot like you to like the book. if you did, he'd have got something wrong.

Summary: A point well made, but overly illustrated
Review: Heller does an admirable job of removing the mystery from the military in his novel. However, he badgers his reader to the point where any knowledge or truth that has been gleaned from the novel is lost. A book about nonsense and insanity is fine, but when the reader is forced to see it through the same kaleidoscope as the characters, some of the impact is lost. One has a hard time relating to, or feeling sympathy for, the characters since we never know what they'll do next. Does Heller really mean to say that people were making money at the expense of their friend's llives? If so, the ridiculous personage of Milo is the wrong way to achieve this end. This character's actions are so ludicrous, that the reader is forced to write off the incidents completely. This is just a symptom of Heller's disease, which causes him to alienate his reader through an overdose of sarcasm and ridiculousness.

Summary: Milo & Minderbinder
Review: To all those lamos who think that everyone likes this book just because everyone else does needs to get a clue. We all have different tastes and ideals and i personally had never known about this book and picked it randomly from a list of books for a class and ill have to say it is one of the best books ever written.

Summary: A Classic
Review: This is not a trendy 1960's anti-war book. It is about people who are portrayed with much humor. I read this book 30 years ago and it is still one of my favorites.
