What is this book about? The book describes the life of soldiers in the Second World War fighting in Italy, focusing on the character of Yossarian, who, surrounded by a variety of unorthodox and often uncaring or ignorant people, attempts to escape the army and keep his sanity.
Has this book influenced you in anyway? Most definitely; the paradoxical logic of the titular "catch-22" meaning that no-one can leave the army, much less Yossarian has really changed my views on logic. The book's commentary as a satirical look at war and the effect it has altered how I view wars, and the various soldiers has made me appreciate how each is completely insane and what war can do.
Who would you recommend this book to? Anyone and everyone who can appreciate a satirical and humorous - yet dark - novel. Perhaps more mature people who can appreciate the backwards and slightly twisted manner of the book.
