"Closing Time"

So I finished the sequel to Catch-22, Closing Time, and I must say it was something of a disappointment. Set about 50 years after the first book, Closing Time follows a much older Yossarian and his adventures in modern society. The story line was convoluted and confusing at times, much like Catch-22, but many times, especially towards the end, it did not make much sense. Catch-22 was at least probable, but Closing Time was very contrived and a little forced; the story didn’t move on its own like Catch-22. And there was too much sex. Much, much too much. I’d like to think that I’m not a prude, but it was just too much. If you are looking for a nihilistic satire of modern society, this is your book, unless you want something easy to read. Then it isn’t.
