This is only the second book I've owned that I have never read all the way through. After I hit page 100, I said "enough already". Maybe when I'm older I will appreciate this work, but by then I would likely become very depressed by it. Catch-22 is my favorite all-time book, but this book doesn't even come close. Heller would have done a better job by not billing this book as a sequel, and using different characters.
