One of the better novels ever written.  This novel focuses on the madness and insanity that is war.  Not everyone knows or understands what this insanity is like and that is what Heller in his novel attempts to show to the broader world.  War is of course a serious topic, yet Heller makes this an enjoyable and yet at times funny read.
