Summary: A must-read for everyone!
Review: This book was so amazing to me. The insight that C.S. Lewis had through Screwtape was so deep and TRUE. I couldn't believe it. For someone like me, who is trying to escape everyday temptations and not always succeeding, this book was wonderful. It served to help me with a look inside myself and I saw some encouraging and discouraging things. Yet nothing that I cannot change, as Screwtape points out so many times. Taking a look at me from his point of view helped me to see what more I can do to be happier. This book is wonderful for the Christian, but also for anyone who wants to learn a little about themselves. I loved it!

Summary: Don't get it from the library, you'll need it forever.
Review: I'm buying four copies of Screwtape Letters, one for each of my children and one to keep. It is so full of profound insights I couldn't absorb it in one reading. I kept wanting to stop and examine my life with respect to the latest observation or revelation. I have been a Christian for years but this is one of the best tools I've run across (besides the Bible) to arm yourself for the lifelong fight.

Summary: Amazing wake-up to all who think they know Satan
Review: I am a Christian, and was absolutely awestruck by this tour-de-force Christian book. It is absolutely AMAZING how subtle the enemy is, and this book does a exemplary job of showing us just who the enemy REALLY is. "He is a liar and the father of lies" (John 8:44), and cannot speak a word of truth, and this book really highlights this fact. I encourage ALL Christians to read this book to remind you what you are REALLY up against.

Summary: John Cleese interprets CS Lewis' Screwtape perfectly.
Review: I have read The Screwtape Letters probably a dozen times. I was very excited to find John Cleese doing an audio tape of the book - having listened to too many Monty Python records (I said records! not CDs!!) The combination is exciting and excellent. Mr. Cleese really gets into the character of Screwtape, a senior devil, as he attempts to educate and train his "nephew", a junior devil. His nuances and inflections lend a force to the writings. At times angry, surprised, and at others comtemplative, he brings a very good book further to life. Having read the book a number of times, he does my favorite passages very well.

Summary: This book is very entertaining. I recommend it to you.
Review: In this book of passion, a demon talks to another demon about something. The real beauty of the novel lies upon the shoulders of the intense love affair between a demon and a air force pilot. It took my breath away.

Summary: Not for the sloppy thinker or reader
Review: This fiction purports to collect the letters from a senior devil to a junior devil on how to best tempt his one assigned "patient" (human). In it, Lewis shows us a rare clarity of thought about the Christian faith in its daily struggles... with a brilliant sense of humor. This book is good for believers who are lazy or unchallenged by their faith. It also can give us a glimpse of the arguments which compelled Lewis, an atheist, to accept Christianity as true; however, for a non-fiction and more in-depth look at Lewis' Christian apology, see "Mere Christianity" ... or ... if you have the will power to read really meaty thought try his book "Miracles."

Summary: NL-S student, Jeremy Van Engen
Review: The Screw Tape Letters is one of the most intriguing books that I've ever read. It is a rather difficult book to read and it took me a longer time to complete it than the usual book, but it was definitely worth the wait. Some people think books that are somewhat religious are boring and can't possibly be very good. However, The Screwtape Letters proves that mentality quite wrong. If you haven't read the book, it is a book about a graduate from a "devil college" (Screwtape), who writes letters to his "still in training" advocate (Wormwood) on how to steer his human subject away from Christianity. This book is great in the sense that it really makes you think and wonder if there is anyone in your life that resembles Screwtape's advocate, Wormwood. It makes you more aware of common, day-to-day situations and helps you think about what you're doing before you regret it. Through out the letters, Wormwood reports to Screwtape on how he is coming along with his subject. I found some of the responses quite humorous in there irony and some were rather frightening to think that things like the church and my own friends could be used against me. However, no matter how disturbing the letter were, in the end they will help you out when you are in doubt. I definately recomend this book to anyone who is down for a little brain stimulation.

Summary: A wonderful insight into the workings of the human mind
Review: I am an atheist, but I can say that this book is a joy to read even for someone, like me, who does not believe in either God or the devil. C. S. Lewis offers wonderful, subtle insights into human nature and that desires the guide human behavior. The book is entertaining, very readable, and full of wisdom of the highest order.
