Review of Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

I was unable to attend this meeting but other members were able to catch me up on what they discussed. The book was not a favorite for many of the members. I personally struggled reading Catch-22 as well and ended up abandoning it. Below is a recap of what was discussed.

What we liked:

-        The book provided a lot of conversation about the issues presented

What we didn’t like:

-        It was a slow and grueling read that didn’t capture many of the members attention

-        It started off funny but then quickly changed and became very dark

-        Many of us wanted to abandon the book but continued on because it is deemed as a classic

-        Because it is a classic, we questioned what we didn’t see in the book that others did
