A review by kurtwombat
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

5.0

The title of this book defines insanity. It could have been set anywhere but most appropriately during war time. Heller shows how easy it is to embrace insanity, that it can offer shelter and profit and become a way of life that denies life. Insanity is putting the false before the real, profit before life, power before people. The joy of this book is that it reveals all this and still maintains a devilish sense of humor and a marvelous narrative drive that compels you forward. An amazing book both frightening and hilarious.
