Some thoughts:
-The Catch itself is a paradox that not only does not make sense, it is intentional for the purposes of exercising power. As we see later in the novel it does not just apply to flying. I do not believe it is explicitly stated but this is my take away.
- I would like for Arrfy to be gelded, beat as badly as Bogs was in Shawshank Redemption, and then serve the majority of his life in the worst brig the military had available.

This book was: meandering, sexist, racist, boring, out of date and not even funny.
Although it is funny how you can have such a great premise and such shitty execution.
1 star.

I don’t know how I feel about it to be honest.
Graphic: Addiction, Adult/minor relationship, Cursing, Death, Drug abuse, Drug use, Genocide, Gore, Gun violence, Infidelity, Mental illness, Misogyny, Pedophilia, Physical abuse, Rape, Sexism, Sexual assault, Sexual content, Sexual violence, Violence, Blood, Vomit, Medical content, Kidnapping, Grief, Medical trauma, Gaslighting, Alcohol, Sexual harassment, War, Injury/Injury detail, and Classism
This is not a book for light reading. It will disgust you and horrify you. The sexual violence was most disturbing to me. I’m gonna say that again for good measure: repeated, horrifying, insane degrees of sexual violence all throughout the book.
