![]() The bite is as sharp as it was in the early 80's, when I first read the book. I was pleasantly disappointed (a contradiction that might have pleased Heller). I returned to this modern classic not really expecting it to live up to my memory of its bite, cleverness and the inventive use of the absurd. And it's the most hillarious book you'll ever have read to you. It contains all the absurdity and horror of war. No-one acts rationally except Yossarian (and he's crazy). ![]() Scenes jump in the middle of conversations. ![]() If you don't know the book, it details the story of Yoissarian's attempt to stay alive in a world that doesn't make sense, where people are trying to kill him and the rules are against him. If you know the book and love it, you will love the Audiobook. It is clear, easy to understand and the character voices are mostly the same as I hear in my head. ![]() It is my favourite book that I come back to reread every few years but this audiobook will change all that - now I can have the book read to me every few months. Catch 22 is a classic stream-of-thought black comedy detailing the absurdity of war. ![]()
