The Screwtape Letters
This is the classic written by C. S. Lewis as a dedication to his dear friend J. R. R. Tolkien. A masterpiece of satire, The Screwtape Letters has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below". At once wildly comical, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C. S. Lewis presents to us the correspondences of the worldly-wise old devil, Screwtape, 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 and humorous account of temptation - and triumph over it - ever written.
This edition includes the hilarious and enlightening sequel, Screwtape Proposes a Toast, where the scene is in Hell at the annual dinner of the Tempters’ Training College for young Devils. Screwtape, who is the guest of honour, rises up to propose a toast.
‘The book is sparkling yet truly reverent, in fact a perfect joy, and should become a classic.’
- The Guardian
‘Excellent, hard-hitting, challenging, provoking.’
- The Observer

This book is truly profound!
By isaacred5
What an awesome book. The pure depiction of lower demons and higher demons alone was enough to make me jump for joy a bit. But once I began to delve in I instantly became mesmerized and capitivated through the poetic, deep, and structured work. Midway through I began to self reflect a bit but more so heed the morality of the piece. Not bad

C.S Lewis is obviously a great writer. His wisdom and views are shown clearly in his work. Many interesting topics were raised however I didn’t agree with all he wrote . Nevertheless, it was somewhat an interesting read. Something to get you thinking and maybe a little bit for entertainment.
