What I found disappointing was a) it wasn't weird enough. For all the time-slipping and Tralfamadorian business the central storyline (of the Dresden raid) is told in straight time order, and this made the rest of it seem a bit irrelevant, somehow. b) it didn't carry the emotional punch I expected; the central Dresden sequence left me curiously unmoved (and this from a man who gets choked up very easily). I dunno, maybe my expectations were built up too high, but as an anti-war war story Catch 22 left it standing.
