Catch 22- the book.

Heyy,
I started catch 22, got to chapter 3, and then stopped to read another book. I enjoyed the start, but I was just wondering if it is worth reading? I've been told by some people it is amazing but others say it's shit.
Your views please?
Xx

    It's a great piece of work but it isn't the quickest or easiest read. For me it didn't quite click until about half way through and then I finished in about a day without a break.

    But yeah, it's rewarding in the end but it doesn't give it up easily.

    I got about a quarter of the way in and couldn't get into it. But I am indignant that at some point I WILL READ IT all the way through.

    It's very good indeed. Perseverence is the key as, as others have mentioned, it's not the easiest read. It's not considered a classic for nothing.
