Am I the only one who did not enjoy reading this? Some of it

but the non-linearity is genius with how it all comes together by the end

It wasn't worth it for me.

Always found it weird how polarising this book is. I'm the biggest pleb going, I find 90% of the books I read either too boring or too confusing, so on paper I should have hated Catch-22. Yet it's probably my favourite book.

I think if the book doesn't click by the time you reach Clevinger's trial then you're probably not going to enjoy it at all.

ive only found a handful of books funny ever. this was one of 'em. worth every second for me.

i just love this book so much.
the events of the book may be narrated in a non-chronological fashion according to the realtime of the plot, but the way the events are told actually has its own chronology as well.
eg. with Bologna, it builds tension to the event by describing both the before and after before you get the event. then there's also the massive tone shift you get part way through the novel, when it suddenly starts becoming heartbreaking as well as hilarious. this is a pretty linear transformation.
so yeah basically i think the way it's told is more powerful, tells more of a story, for being non-chronological.
