Overview

The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis is a classic masterpiece of religious satire that entertains readers 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's The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging account of temptation--and triumph over it--ever written.

  • The devil is coming for you with every thing he had.

    Abby C. - 4 years 11 months ago

    A little on the boring side. It is not adventure, romance, drama or anything that you would expect. especially since C.S. Lewis wrote The Chronicles of Narnia. It is a bunch of letters from the devil to his nephew Screwtape, a demon-in-training who is trying to influence a human into not accepting God. Though some parts are very amazing and certainly eye opening, you also come to find the more serious part of the author. It is very deep and shows you a perspective of how demons view you. I would recommend it for people 10 to 12 and older. #SpringPicks

  • Fun and Christian morality

    STEPHANIE R. - 5 years 5 months ago

    This Christian class is not to be missed. With an unusual viewpoint, one can learn a lot from the book and enjoy some good laughs. #BannedBook

  • Worth the read!

    Amber B. - 5 years 9 months ago

    If you are wondering what God and His kingdom are like—this is a great book for that thought. Even though this book is talking about the kingdom of hell, C.S. Lewis illustrates how the kingdom of hell and the Kingdom of Heaven are in no way alike just like a cat is quite different than a leaf! This has become one of my favorite books and it’s worth the read. #summerreading

  • My Dear Wormwood...

    Dale B. - 7 years 4 months ago

    Nothing like a standard narrative but not exactly a book of theology or morals, C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters takes the concept of the proverbial devil on your shoulder and gives him an uncle who is much better at the job. A series of letters from experienced, crotchety Screwtape to woefully green Wormwood on the proper methods of human temptation comprises this insightful, and often wryly funny, epistolary novel. Certainly, like many of Lewis's works, Screwtape aims at a Christian audience, but the book contains wisdom for all manner of people regarding the darker side of human nature. While not light reading, The Screwtape Letters is a treat to read for its sarcastic, inverted perspective on the darker side of human nature. Also recommended is John Cleese's masterfully and hilariously narrated audiobook version.
