À propos de cet audio

Fifty years after its original publication, Catch-22 remains a cornerstone of American literature and one of the funniest - and most celebrated - novels of all time. In recent years, it has been named to "best novels" lists by Time, Newsweek, the Modern Library, and the London Observer. Set in Italy during World War II, this is the story of the incomparable, malingering bombardier Yossarian, a hero who is furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. But his real problem is not the enemy - it is his own army, which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. Yet if Yossarian makes any attempt to excuse himself from the perilous missions he's assigned, he'll be in violation of Catch-22, a hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule: A man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but if he makes a formal request to be removed from duty, he is proven sane and therefore ineligible to be relieved.

Since its publication in 1961, no novel has matched Catch-22's intensity and brilliance in depicting the brutal insanity of war. This 50th-anniversary edition commemorates Joseph Heller's masterpiece with a new introduction by Christopher Buckley; personal essays on the genesis of the novel by the author; a wealth of critical responses and reviews by Norman Mailer, Alfred Kazin, Anthony Burgess, and others; rare papers from Joseph Heller's personal archive; and a selection of advertisements from the original publishing campaign that helped turn Catch-22 into a cultural phenomenon. Here, at last, is the definitive edition of a classic of world literature.

I couldn't get through this due to the performance. The reader's inflections were too much. A shame.

excellent narrator, excellent story. One of the best books I've ever 'read', probably. Audible review wordcounts are pretty stupid.

funny, witty and deep

Joseph Heller is an incredible wordsmith. His mastery of the english language subtly interweaves throughout this entire story. The story itself is lacking but remains afloat due to Heller's skill. Joy O. Sanders puts on a clinic with this incredible acting skills. His characterization is well thought out and consistent. He is the best voice over artist I have yet heard.

Entertaining

Arguably my favourite book. The entire time reading it all I could think about was one of my favourite shows MASH. There is satire and funny times mixed with the most serious situations you could have to encounter. A great story across the entire book. I also liked how you could relate a lot of how this book went, the rank system, the proverbial carrot often dangled in many workplaces. Very much enjoyed and the narration was very well done with the right amount of drama.

Fantastic

The narration borders on genius, and I am weighing my words here - genius and love are the two most overused words in the english vocabulary - really impressive.

Elite.

I really liked it. It made me laugh many times out loud due to the absurdity of the situations. I have been lucky to have not experienced such leaders in the military but I can see this be a representation of any incompetent leader. I think it highlights the difficulty of trying to change things set from people in control but it is important to keep fighting.

Very funny when talking about a serious topic.

This is one of my all time favourite books. I’ve read the physical book but this audiobook blew me away !! The narration, the acting, the sound effects and music was all just FANTASTIC. Amazing job. Highly highly recommend it.

Amazing from start to finish.
