Books : Catch-22

Rating: - a dissappointment
I read this book and all I can say is...it was simply a disappointment. I realize it was satirical...however the characters seemed 2 dimensional and unrealistic, and after a while there behavior and responses were so predictable, I soon lost interest and the book became a slog. I personally feel if Joseph Heller wrote it later on in life he would have had more life experiences to draw upon and could have written a much better novel.

Rating: - This is a great CD version of the book
A friend recommended this CD to me and it was a great recommendation. Jay Sanders does an amazing job reading this book. He provides interpretation that goes beyond the book and makes the book seem even more ironic and entertaining. Parts are laugh out loud funny. He changes his voice to match various characters and really brings the characters to life. I think his voices and interpretations for Yossarian and Milo are great. The part of the book describing events following Orr's crash landing and the time in a life boat is truly hilarious, made more so by Mr. Sanders's retelling. If you have read the book (which everyone should as it is a bit of genius and a great commentary on the absurdity of life) get the CD, if you have not read the book, get the CD. I think this is one of the best CD versions of a book I have ever heard.

Rating: - Had to work hard to read half of it
I got through about half of this book and even that was a challenge. It was funny at times however but not enough for me to finish the book. Any book that uses the Lord's name in vain this much is not for me. But I've never been in the military either.
