Summary: Horrifically Funny!
Review: An excellent book that is rich with very interesting, yet simply real characters! This book will keep you laughing but once you realise what you're laughing at, it makes you stop and think!I can't give it the full 5 stars though because I found that it took some time to warm to this book and this style of writing. If you haven't read it yet I strongly urge you do!

Summary: Still the Best
Review: Reading Catch 22 was quite an experience. Beginning the novel on the train from Paris to London, I was laughing almost hysterically all the way to the Chunnel. Then, Heller shows exactly what I was laughing at, and suddenly it isn't funny anymore. The slow trip through Southern England's decrepid rail system was much more somber, and the book went from the best humor I've ever read to the the best novel I've ever read. Finishing it in a London Hotel room three days later, I sat down with my father to joke about "Flies in your eyes" and discuss whether or not there is a better book out there. He was surprised I thought so highly, thinking it belonged to his generation. Some books shouldn't go without being read. This is one of them.. -fish

Summary: Very original but pointless
Review: Some of the passages in this novel made me chuckle a little. No much, though. The kind of humor employed was strange and I have never seen it before but it just wasn't that funny. The novel had no plot. I don't think it was ever meant to have a plot. But the thing I hated most about this incredibly boring novel was the author's style which when he wanted to refer to something he repeated what the think was completely and used no pronouns. I cannot tell you how much I hated reading the same thing fifty times. He could have literally cut the book by a third then I might have actually finished it.

Summary: Hilarious, the perfecta mix of cynicism and black humor
Review: It is wonderful when all the bits and pieces finally come together at the end.

Summary: Unreal
Review: The word brilliant doesn't even begin to describe this book. The fact that a human wrote it restores my faith in the race. This is not an understatement. If you only read on book (ever), make it this one.

Summary: A Masterpiece
Review: I first read "Catch 22" when I was 16, and I still revisit the book once a year. The characters are so well-developed and intriguing, it's hard to tire of "Catch 22". Other Joseph Heller books are quite enjoyable, but this one will always stand out as a milestone for American literature.

Summary: Outrageously hilarious and painfully gut-wrenching
Review: Highly entertaining, thought-provoking, gut-wrenching. The wonderful circular narrative and diologue caused me many times to laugh so much that I had to stop reading to get control of myself. The disjointed, insanely spiraling narrative (I love reading reviews which condemn this sort of thing. Broaden your horizons, people, this is almost the twenty-first century) draws you in with fabulous humor and then hits you with such unexpected images of horror that you are left reeling. A fanastic novel, one of the best and most important of this century. "I'm cold." "There, there."

Summary: Catch-22 made me laugh more than any other book.
Review: Catch-22 is one of those books that is good for entertainment, but unfortunately it is constantly being picked apart by critics. I enjoyed the book for its creative style, and humorous situations. What I don't understand is why people must try to look between the lines to find some political motivation behind its humor and satire. The critics need to remember that it is fiction, and only fiction. It is meant to be read for enjoyment. I really enjoyed this book, and I would recomend it to any person who reads for entertainment purposes, and not for political purposes.
