C. S. Lewis

A Masterpiece of Satire on Hell’s Latest Novelties and Heaven’s Unanswerable AnswerC.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the unique vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to “Our Father Below.” At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C.S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the wordly-wise devil to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man. The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging account of temptation—and triumph over it—ever written.

"Fascinating read with a unique perspective. It's almost like reading the behind the scenes of a story. I loved this classic. "

Lisa Russel

"Very interesting book. Read it years ago for a college English class and I still remember it today."

Janell Crawford

"kinda boring listening to it, but i did like certain excerpts of the book & would own it. "

Natalee Grover

"A witty, sarcastic commentary on “the nature of human life.” Although a grave and serious story at its core, the tone is still kept quite light and funny at times, with its “how to damn a human soul” instructions being laced with office-style banter and complaint. Interesting arguments on religion, ethics, philosophy, and politics, especially for the time it was written. "

"This book is amazing. It helped show me all the ways satan can try to trip us up in our walk with God and how much God protects us. "

Jessica Miller

"It has its moments."

"Totally different way to think about temptation"

Pick'n and Strum'n

"A book with way too much potential to be as lackluster and mediocre as it was. The beginning and end of the book were great. The middle, on the other hand, seemed to lose all semblence of a narrative and turned to a relentless rant about chastity with some very unique and unbased ideas."
