book: Catch-22, Joseph Heller
Whole chapters dedicated to characters, long drawn out chapters, in depth chapters, chapter non-sequential in time, all interconnected, sounds like a chapter recipe for a bad book, but like a good pint of bitter, one not to be gulped this book is a smooth one. Catch-22 (ISBN 0-671-50233-6) by Joseph Heller is an excellent book beyond belief. Never had I read something like this before. Itís all mixed up, so cleverly put together. It was the second book of the Cuban holiday, so was read on the beach quite lazily, but it kept me amused for days, but I would say this book is not for the beach, sometimes you need just a little bit of piece, quiet and patience, something you do not always get on the beach, with distractions walking past all the time.
Set in WWII and written in the 50ís you can tell this book is not written today, I get the same feeling when reading Ian Flemings James Bond books, its always surprises me how fast English must be changing. The books introduces you to the smallness of man, the stupidity of war, the lack on control we all have to make our own decisions, and its done is such a funny way. At times I laughed out loud, which with a book I rarely do. Get onto Amazon.com, go down to WHSmiths or you local library and get a copy of this book, then read it.
I read this book after listening to advice from a friend of mine, he told me about the similarities between this book and M*A*S*H. Itís so true, this book firstly is like the film and of course then like the series, but not as slap stick as the series. You can see characters from this book walking straight onto the set of M*A*S*H and into the Korean War. I do believe that some of these characters could walk onto a set about the latest Gulf War and feel quite at home. Does anybody else see a similarity between Hawkeye and Yossarian?
Oh I forgot to say,
THERE IS ONLY ONE CATCH...
