Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

adhendo's review against another edition

1.0

Awful book. It is hard to believe that some high schools make their students read this. Heller is clearly a skilled writer, but the stories of the characters are completely inappropriate, perpetuate rape culture, and the objectification of women in this book is absolute.

Intriguing in some areas. The back and forth was funny but got annoying towards the end. Or it’s just me trying to finish the book.
