 To be sane you have to be insane. And Vice versa., 1998-09-16
Being a junior in high school and usaslly forced to read, I couldn't put this book down. I actually loved this book. I loved the irony that poured out of this book. And since the book is about and filled with many Catch-22's, I was in literay heaven. During War time, when people were drafted into the war, the sanest thing a person can want to get out of the war. To get out of the war, you have to be insane and proven insane to be granted leave. Frustrating, but that is the Catch-22. But, how can you be proven insane, when your crew, captains, and comanding officers are insane as well? END

 Catch-00, 1998-07-18
By far, this is one of the worst novels I have ever read. Excessively over-hyped as a "modern classic," its little more than a silly attempt at parody. Heller's egotistical love of his own words result in book this is over long and exceedingly boring. The non-linear narrative is little more than a pretentious gimmick while the characters are cartoonish at best and as flat as a piece of cardboard. END
