Catch 22 by Joseph Heller (Teacher Guide) Reviews

  Jacob Meyer

  This book was amazing, both hysterical and deeply moving. It is an amazing satire.

  This is not the book I read, but I am not proficient enough with this site to change it. I read the novel by Joseph Heller. I originally read this in college, and went back to re-read it about five years ago. For some reason, it seemed tired, old, not nearly as funny and cutting as it was when I first read it. I was distracted by a shiny object and put it down less than a hundred pages into it. I picked it up again because I am attending a discussion of it in connection with its 50th anniversary. This time. I loved it from the beginning. Its humor still resonates, as does its anti-war themes. But the end, especially Yossarian's sojourn through Rome, is terribly affecting. A great, great book.
  
  I have no idea what Novel Units Incorporated means, by the way.

  Catch-22 is like no other novel. It is one of the funniest books ever written, a keystone work in American literature, and even added a new term to the dictionary.

  Amazing. And everything in the story is a catch-22!

  It is a dark comedy. Almost cartoon like, until you read passages about the wounded soldier Snowden. This book is rich with sarcasm.

  A great book. You can see where M*A*S*H got it's ideas from. I love the style of writing. Very dry humour, very funny.
