Summary: One of the best books of the twentieth century.
Review: The characters are all exciting to read about. It really tells the reader what the world is like, even if that reader doesn't have the guts to admit it to themselves. Everyone should read this book.

Summary: Extremely insightful
Review: Joseph Heller's book, " Catch 22," although extremely difficult to understand, has many valuable lessons hidden within the text. Yossarian, the main character, is a navigator during World War II. After realizing the dangers and down sides of flying, he became afraid of his condition. The aspect of flying and the never ending trials and dilemmas he is confronted with, give him second thoughts on the life he is living. The only way to be exempt from flying was to be crazy or mentally incapable. Yossarian pretends to be crazy. The catch, Catch 22, if you know that you are crazy then you can't be. Heller's use of conflict throughout the story provides the reader with beneficial insights to everyday life. Heller uses conflict to convey his theme that we face trials and dilemmas everyday. Often we are confronted with a lose-lose situation. Avoiding these situations or how we deal with them, is the determining factor of the outcome. More specifically, Heller portrays conflicts such as man versus self and man versus destiny. Yossarian is in constant conflict with himself and the choices he has to make. He also is frequently in conflict with what he will become. Heller shows the reader the reality of life, in that we are constantly facing lose-lose situations. Heller suggests making the best of it: Seize opportunities as they arise, make them learning experiences, and try to have a good attitude about doing so. No matter what cards you are dealt, life is only what you make of it.

Summary: Excellent reading material.
Review: For those that are thinking of reading the book, I recomend it above all others if you want to see a more clear view of how the world works. To all those that disliked it, they must not like to have the wrongs of the world pointed out to them and want to continue living with their "sheepish" ideas of how life really is.

Summary: Sateric and yet horrorfic at times
Review: Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear? That is Yosarian's question, and Joseph Heller bluntly shows us that they are all dead. Through Snowden's death a love for life is born in Yosarrian, and through the books comedy and horror we begin to see what life is all about for the typical(?) WWII. soldier. Of all the books writen in the early 20th century, this is the one that will go down forever as a classic
Rating:
Summary: Catch-22 is an UNDERrated classic
Review: Catch-22 was throughly enjoyable. It's wild, insane illogical plot kept me laughing for hours. Characters such as the timid Major Major Major Major, the lovable Chaplain and Yossarian, and the capitalist Milo Minderbinder remind us of how human nature really is. It truly is an American classic. Those of you who disliked the book should try reading it again, appreciating this masterpiece by Joseph Heller.

Summary: #$%@#^%#@$%@#$%
Review: Basically, I'd like to rate this book at 5 stars to keep the average up statistically, in essence, recommending the book in that way. I can't tell a new reader exactly what I thought of it, and nor do I want to give my own explicit opinion. People should read it and form their own damn opinion. If anyone has a problem with that. . . I can't say I care. . .

Summary: Might have liked it better if I read it in Junior High.
Review: This is certainly one of the most over rated books of the 20th century. I had heard and read such glowing descriptions (And, in fact, the actual concept of Catch 22 is brilliant). However, the writing is so juvenile that I wish I had read it in Junior High instead of after college. Heller is seemingly willing to expend untold pages of drivel to bring off a joke, as in how Major Major became Major Major Major. This book would have been more powerful and more readable as a short story. 50 pages max. I had to force myself to plod through this sophomoric mess. When the war finally ended, no one in the book was more relieved than I.
Rating:
Summary: Don't be a sheep.
Review: Look, you're a smart person. You know what you like and what you don't like. Unless of course you say you liked this book. In which case I rescind my first statement. Just because some art freak with oily skin and a funny hat says a book is good, doesn't make it an American classic. For lack of a better word, this book sucked.
Rating:
Summary: WOW
Review: The best book I have ever read! Every character is unique in their own way. The writing of Heller is simply brilliant as he demonstrates how dialogue should be. Catch 22 is hilarious and sad at the same time. A masterpiece of the 20th century
