A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the 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 worldly-wise old 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.
Customer Reviews
- An interesting perspective
-
From the perspective of a demon, Screwtape writes to his nephew on just how difficult it can be to win over someone who is exposed to the gospel and just how easy it can be when one turns their back to it. An interesting way of looking at the human condition.
The reader does a fantastic job.Overall - Hard to listen to while driving

Very insightful. Hundreds of gems that describe today's world so well, especially liberals and people that have left Christianity.
I found this hard to listen to while driving however, because I had to concentrate to reverse the point of view of all the statements. This is better to read and underline than to listen to while driving.
The readers' voice is hard to take after a while, but he is impersonating a devil, so I don't think he could do better. But that is another reason it is hard to listen to.Overall - Well done.
