Explosive, subversive, wild and funny, 50 years on the novel's strength is undiminished. Reading Joseph Heller's classic satire is nothing less than a rite of passage. Set in the closing months of World War II, this is the story of a bombardier named Yossarian who is frantic and furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. His real problem is not the enemy - it is his own army which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. If Yossarian makes any attempts to excuse himself from the perilous missions then he is caught in Catch-22: if he flies he is crazy, and doesn't have to; but if he doesn't want to he must be sane and has to. That's some catch...

Yo-Yo is mad, Yo-Yo is sane, Yo-Yo is friend of humans.
评分I tried to give up several times but made it to finish it. It is hard to track the timeline and I don't have a favorite charater.
评分Absurdity brought to its extreme. Insanity is contagious. A piece of essential anti-war bittersweet humor.
评分One of the greatest masterpieces of anti-war novels.
评分这算是我读的最邪的一本书。看似每一章针对一个人物描写,其实都是一个个环环相扣的彭罗斯阶梯,每个阶梯都是交错的叠加在一起,凌乱但总有出路却又只能在出入口处迷失。很佩服作者的逻辑思维。可喜的是,主人公Yo-Yo最后成功逃离,活到70岁,寿终正寝。(作者语)
