Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best book I've ever read
Review: I have read this book maybe 8 or 10 times. And I thing I'll read this book many more times. My best part is about Snowden. Its shows that war meaningless. Dead man will lose, who survive wins.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 5 STAR
Review: Of course, the review beneath me is wrong. This is THE anti-war book of the century and I hope to god anyone reading this review is merely reading reviews on their favourite book - if not, read NECROTRIVIE vs SKULL by Jeremy Clarke, although I bet you any money you won't find it in print!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My favorite of all time.
Review: I started reading this book expecting it to be a serious antiwar novel. Boy was I wrong. Part way into it I realized that this book was never meant to be serious. It is also not a war story. It is about the characters and how each and every one of them deals with the seriousness of war in their own way. I thought it was a hilarious book that can be read again and again. For anyone who did not like this book I urge you to give it another try. Read it for the characters. Each one is crazy in their own way and that is how they avoid becoming crazy from the seriousness of war. It's a cath 22.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great
Review: I think this is the best "anty-the system" novel writte

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN, AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED
Review: This is one of the few books that I think everyone should have a chance to read. This book was absolutely hilarious, and cynical, and realistic (in a twisted sort of way), and sad, and everything else a book should have. I first read this book last year, and I immediately fell in love with it. I could not put it down for the two days it took me to read it. And the minute I was done, I read it again. This is my favourite book of all time, and I think that everyone should read it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Perhaps the greatest anti-war novel ever written...
Review: If Saving Private Ryan is the greatest war movie ever made, Joseph Heller's Catch-22 is the greatest war novel ever written. It combines the horror of All Quite on the Western Front and the dry humor of a J.D. Salinger novel. The anti-war message is all too clear in this novel. It is not underminded like The Thin Red LIne or The Naked and the Dead, but full in your face. The sorrowful character of Yossarian makes you hate, pity and enjoy his company all at the same time. The assorated cast of characters will leave your head spinning but enriched at the end.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the top 5 novels of the 20th Century
Review: I both pity and envy the person who has not yet read this book. Pity as they know not what they are missing. Envy because they can still experience this novel for the first time...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Find it, read it, love it.
Review: Always jumps to mind when asked the inevitable,"What is your favorite book?" Catch-22 is laugh out loud funny the 12th time you read it, can be read and enjoyed by every age, rails against war, stupidity, greed, and demonstrates the valuable recouse to absurdity in an insane world. Dozens of memorable characters, incredible dialogue, and humor from wry to outright outrageous.

This book is a TITAN.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of my favorate books
Review: Catch-22 has got to be one of the funniest books around, on par with Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker series. It also has serious undertones and brings up interesting questions, but even then it never fails to get a laugh.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A challenging yet incredible novel
Review: When I first started reading Catch 22, it came very slow and there was a lot to take in. I kept with it, though, and I am very glad I did. Catch 22 forced me to think and ponder many important issues. The end of the book was so exciting that I read over 100 pages until the wee hours of the morning and slept satisfied. Catch 22, one of my new favorites!
