Joseph Heller does a great job in piecing together this story. Each anecdote acts as a new puzzle piece. As the story progresses the pieces start to fall into place to form the overall picture: a criticism on the aristocracy of war.If you are into abstract stories that make your mind wonder what the author is truly trying to say, you will love this book. The writing style Heller presents is very unique. It leaves his readers split; you will either love it or hate it. The complexity of this text is better understood when reading it the second time through.
