Not really my cup of tea but extremely well written.

As long as we have an image in our head of the "devil" having horns, a red cape and a pitchfork, we will not be able to recognize his true attacks. He often appears to us as a voice of reason, of intellect, and of misguided justice.
This is a wonderful book.

A senior demon teaches a junior colleague how to tempt Christians, biting and very funny.

One of the finest by Lewis. Makes you think about life and what goes on.

Probably my all time favorite, Lewis uses wry humor to get his point across - most excellent!!!

Awesome satirical fiction!

From back cover: A masterpiece of satire, this class 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.
