The Screwtape Letters is an exceptionally clever and entertaining look at moral questions and the nature of temptation. The books of C.S. Lewis always make me think and this is no exception. However, this time it was a little more fun, and a lot ...
Pros: C.S. Lewis examining the issues of good and evil from a Christian perspective. Cons: Want light reading? Go elsewhere.
Way on back when I was 12-years-old, my Mother made a deal with me. She told me should would buy any game I wanted for my Atari 2600 if I agreed to read C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters. I agreed, read the book and picked out a new...
Pros: excellent story, good insight into the author Cons: none really
I have always enjoyed reading. I grew up in Miami, and I can remember when the rains would come day after day after day. In Florida, we got hard cold rains that would just not let up. This meant I would have to be creative to find ways to entertain...
Pros: Better than devil's food cake. Cons: None to speak of.
My dearest Wormwood,
I suppose that I should have been surprised by the news that you had been released from the House of Correction for Incompetent Tempters. I knew the moment that Our Father put that wretched Sloggridd in charge that...
Pros: Masterful work geared for all ages which teaches principles of goodness and faith. Cons: C S Lewis died in 1963.

I'm pleased to participate in this Thursday night's Write-Off with CurtisEdmonds, Endora60, and mshawpyle, (and possibly halfsweet, gracef, caravan70). You can access their contributions through the...
Pros: Theology; conviction, human psyche exploration. Cons: Too short; indescriptive at times.
What I could do right now, to write this review, is give you a very cheesy, cliché’d, oh-so-typical letter/review, just like Mr.
Pyle did, since after all, this book is called The Screwtape ...
Pros: Devilishly good Cons: Like hell are there cons
In the absence of my Thursday Write-Off partner caconti, I was afraid I'd be bereft of companions and subjects for the August Thursday Write-Offs. Fortunately, other cherished friends were willing to pitch in: Curtis Edmonds, Endora60,...
Pros: Funny. Quite well written. Probably good for your faith. Cons: Possibly won't be fully felt by non-believers. Might be useful to your Tempter.
Even if you're a totally committed Christian (or Jew or Muslim, for that matter), demons and their kind hold a fascination. Think about how many stories: books, movies, you name it, are set in or at least have important parts in Hell. Generally not so ...
Pros: Promotes Understanding, Love, Peace Cons: Can Be Frightening
Clive Staples Lewis’ ingenious insight illustrated in this book truly redefines diabolical. This book is written from the perspective of two devils, the experienced Screwtape who trains his nephew Wormwood on the art of keeping a human soul spiritually...
Pros: Incisive insight into the human condition, encouragement for the faithful Cons: Format may be hard to follow for some
The Screwtape Letters,by C.S. Lewis, is one of the most important books I've ever read. The author, who once called himself "the most reluctant Christian," had a unique insight into the human character. He also was possessed of a strong...
Pros: Creative Account of Good Vs. Evil; Intriguing for All Ages; Appealing as much Now as it was in the 60's Cons: May Not Appeal to Non-Believers
(Let me preface this review by saying that I am writing my opinion from a strictly Christian point of view. Upon reading many of the other reviews of "Screwtape Letters", I saw many various religious, philosophical, and intellectual ideas...
Pros: Reveals the way the human mind functions and the ‘self side of temptation.’ Cons: would have preferred an earlier indication as to Uncle Screwtape's real agenda.

Screwtape is a senior demon in charge of training junior tempters, and he has written a series of letters to his nephew Wormwood, who is a junior tempter and to whom Screwtape has been entrusted in his capacity as tempter trainer.
Pros: Such a wonderful, thought provoking story. Cons: Sometimes gets a little lofty in the words and phrases.
I find this book fascinating. The topic is something that we don't think about enough. I find it intriguing and thought provoking to look at what C.S. Lewis has written. This book is a set of letters written from one demon to another. The higher ...
Wormwood, a demon apprentice, has been given his first earthly assignment---secure the damnation of a young man whos just become a Christian. He seeks...More at Christianbook.com
