A review by bekahhinson
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

3.0

Oh my god this book would be like 4.5 stars if it wasn’t so fucking disgusting towards women. Why the hell was it necessary to include SO MANY scenes of the men groping women in public sexually assaulting/raping them? Not to mention there’s no justice, no return to that narrative to assert that those types of actions are wrong, and all of them do it so it’s not like you can claim an unreliable narrator situation. Additionally I don’t care if it’s not the authors true opinion on the matter because it happened so much that is felt like he was writing it because he doesn’t think it’s wrong. Fuck you joseph heller. Next time you write a good book simply exclude women if you can’t resist writing in an SA scene.
