Every person in this book was a fool! Not a very encouraging take on our armed forces. Maybe it was supposed to prove how foolish war can be but I did not enjoy this book very much. There's also a chance I missed the whole point but I can't imagine why this is a "classic" or why it would be assigned...

Odavno na bolju satiru nisam naišla. Ili, što bi jedan moj prijatelj rekao, "ovo je opasno jebanje u mozak".Likovi su savršeno karikirani, situacije opasno izrežirane, poenta fino razvijena u svakom poglavlju. Ratna priča za primer.

Catch-22 is a clever, clever book. Yet, as many other reviewers have stated, there is so much cleverness that it gains a feeling of repetitiveness, and renders it remarkably difficult to read. Despite the brilliant writing and the uniquely absurd nature of the scenarios, I felt like I had to drag my...

My first thought after a page or two of this book: "Hey, this guy writes just like Vonnegut. Bad ass!" This book is hilarious, smart, absurd. Me reading the book: "Ha ha ha. Stop it! Ha ha ha. Oh, shut up!" The hilarity is occasionally suddenly stopped with a passage that is dead serious without mak...

I really couldn't get into this book at all. I know it's not the subject matter because I read The M*A*S*H books after seeing the movie and loved both. I just didn't find it very funny or interesting. I do love absurd humour but I guess my tastes run more to Adams or Fry.I understood what the catch...
