For a lot of this book, it's just ridiculous. I mean the men don't want to be in war. They try to come up with every way possible to get out. The weird rules always block them. It's crazy and humorous, but then at the same time, people are dying. I guess war really does feel this way when you're in it. (  ) ToniFGMAMTC | Feb 17, 2021 |  Must have read it several times. The older I get, the larger part(s) of it I find disturbing, so much so that I doubt I'll read it one more time. Nevertheless, I still consider it one of the greatest books ever written. (  ) Stravaiger64 | Feb 6, 2021 | I remember getting up to Major Major Major Major when I was like 14 and giving up, so I really ought to reread this and make it all the way to the end, bahaha. rjcrunden | Feb 2, 2021 | Another one I've never been able to make it through, no matter how many times I try. (  ) arthur_lewis | Jan 16, 2021 | Reading this book is like watching a whole bunch of episodes of M*A*S*H (which I like). The story is set up as a series of meandering vignettes often a little over-the-top in their satire, but especially toward the end, Heller offers moments of real and beautiful suffering and unlikely joy that temper the satire. Books that make me want to circle back to the beginning after reaching the end to see what connections I might have missed the first time through really float my boat, and this was such a book.

 "A wild, moving, shocking, hilarious, raging, exhilarating, giant roller-coaster of a book" "the best novel to come out in years"  "doesn't even seem to be written; instead, it gives the impression of having been shouted onto paper.... what remains is a debris of sour jokes"  "Catch-22," by Joseph Heller, is not an entirely successful novel. It is not even a good novel by conventional standards. But there can be no doubt that it is the strangest novel yet written about the United States Air Force in World War II. Wildly original, brilliantly comic, brutally gruesome, it is a dazzling performance that will probably outrage nearly as many readers as it delights. In any case, it is one of the most startling first novels of the year and it may make its author famous.  A portrait gallery, a collection of anecdotes, some of them wonderful, a parade of scenes, some of them finely assembled, a series of descriptions, yes, but the book is no novel... Its author, Joseph Heller, is like a brilliant painter who decides to throw all the ideas in his sketchbooks onto one canvas, relying on their charm and shock to compensate for the lack of design.

It is set in the closing months of World War II, in an American bomber squadron on a small island off Italy. Its hero is a bombardier named Yossarian, who is frantic and furious because thousands of people he hasn't even met keep trying to kill him. (He has decided to live forever even if he has to die in the attempt.) Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
