C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters Review

Overall Rating

The Screwtape Letters is a creative collection of letters that were sent by one of the "upper management" demons of Hell to a "lower-level" employee tasked with tempting a particular human, so as to win a soul for the Devil. What is appealing about this book is the way in which Christianity, God and humanity are portrayed. God is referenced as "the Enemy", while Humanity is both despised - out of jealousy - and admired by the demons.

There is much to take away from this book. There is much revealed about human reaction and nature.
