Catch-22 makes me think, this is what you would get if Monty Python re-wrote All Quiet on the Western Front. The book has a great rhythm and a wonderful sense of humor. The early part of the story spends a lot of time defining the multitude of characters, normally I am not a big fan of this style; however; Heller’s humor makes this work. By the mid point of the book, the humor started to feel a little repetitive and a bit hollow. The last quarter of the novel gets some depth and it finishes strong.
