Summary: Different perspective
Review: This is an amazing way of looking at the spiritual warfare of the Christian faith. As Christians, we always look at upside of things. We focus on the attributes of God and the way he works in our lives. This book looks at it from the other side. It gave me a whole new perspective on the ways I am tempted. This novel could be described as "the Christian's guide to outsmarting Satan and his tactics." I found that it was a very accurate description of the ways Satan comes after believers "seeking whom he may devour." In reading this novel, one can be prepared for the fiery darts Satan will send his or her way and can be aware of the more subtle deceptions that the devil may use.

Summary: Re-release Cleese, please!
Review: John Cleese's rendition of "Screwtape" is phenomenal. The pairing of Monty Python's Mr. Cleese with C.S. Lewis' literary classic on the mechanics of spiritual warfare is inspired. I have only one question: when is this out-of-print recording going to be made available on DVD???

Summary: Brilliant yet simple
Review: This book is very thought provoking. Lewis is right about pretty much everything in the modern. The enemeis of truth don't have to dsiprove it, butonly trivialize it.

Summary: A book that every Christian should read
Review: His Abysmal Sublimity Under-Secretary Screwtape is an old experienced tempter, a highly respected expert in his field. And so, Screwtape takes time out of his hellishly busy schedule to send letters of advice to his nephew, Wormwood, who is shepherding along his first human. This book is a collection of Screwtape's letters, giving sound advice on how a Christian can be steered away from Heaven, and safely delivered to Hell. Along the way, the reader is treated to some of the most profound Christian reasoning that I have ever read!To put it succinctly, this book is without a doubt one the greatest (if not THE greatest) works of practical Christian living that was ever written. C.S. Lewis's use of a demon giving advice to his nephew is simply inspired, allowing him to mix deep theology and reasoning with upbeat (and offbeat) humor. I loved the book, and I love this audio version of it - John Cleese does an excellent job of playing Screwtape, adding in the emotions the role deserves, and now I can't even imagine anyone else doing it. This is a great book, one that every Christian should read (or listen to) at least once in his or her life, and maybe even read on a regular basis. I've listened to it five times in a row, and want to hear it some more. This is practical Christianity!

Summary: This Novel Draws Back The Curtain
Review: This is a novel that lets the reader see behind the veil separating this world from our the "other" world. It is an amazing piece of work for C.S. Lewis; a real triumph for those who want to see true evil exposed. Parts of the novel can become slightly confusing to a reader unfamiliar with the time-period in which C.S. Lewis uses as a backdrop to this story...but other than that one drawback, it is an awesome piece of work. www.therunninggirl.com

Summary: Lewis still Rocks.
Review: My brother bought me this one for Christmas. Beautifully written. This will change the way you look at everyday things. Every believer should read as much C.S. Lewis as possible.

Summary: Origional and Insightful
Review: C.S. Lewis' 'Screwtape Letters' gives true insight on both faith and the human condition.
Lewis shows off some of his most inventive story telling in his postal service tale between a Devil(Screwtape) and his nephew (wormwood).
This book give perfect insight to the nature of Satan and the hungering forces of evil, while including a refined English charm to his characters. He takes the dark side and adds a bit of hillarity to it; making this a slightly sinister dark comedy and a truely beautiful peice of literature that is both well written and inspirational to its audience.
C.S. Lewis' wit, charm and intellect is perfectly reflected in this novel. No wonder it has remained a classic of his writtings.

Summary: Simply Astonishing
Review: I first read The Screwtape Letters at the age of 15, and two years later I've read the book countless times and continue to find deeper meaning in each reading. Lewis expertly reveals the devices used to tempt the unsuspecting human; and I'm sure I'm not the only one who realizes several more of their own blunders every time they pick up the book. The traps of temptation are laid bare as Lewis ruthlessly exposes the suble art of manipulation.
This book is highly philosophical, so don't pick it up when you're looking for some escape fiction. While some complain that the book lacks "excitment," I hold that you cannot blame a philosophical book for being just that: philosophical. All the excitement needed is in the intellectual stimulation and in the wealth of knowledge provided by this book. The seriousness of this subject is artfully highlighted with Lewis's characteristic wit and humor. This is a refreshing touch to the deep and somewhat disturbing questions Lewis dares to answer. If nothing else, The Screwtape Letters will force you to truthfully examine yourself. I highly reccomend this book anyone seeking Christian literature or philosophy. It is well worth the time you take to read it.

Summary: An amusing look from a demon's perspective
Review: Yes, this book is amusing, as it presents a demon (Wormwood) exchanging letters with a superior demon (Screwtape), giving reports on his progress in turning a man to evil, while taking advice - and often heavy criticism - from his boss. The book is amusing, but it is also more than that. Mr Lewis seems to be pointing out some of the subtle ways that a "demon" could undermine our faith, turning us away from Christ and toward damnation. The general lesson of this book would seem to be the eternal vigilance that the Christian needs in combatting evil. Five stars.

Summary: The Screwtape Letters
Review: The book The Screwtape Letters is written for a more mature reader, one that is interested in philosophical thinking. The book is more a theological book, than an exciting book. I would not suggest this book for a high school student. Not that it is too complicated for a teenager to read, because the story is easy to understand and follow. The book was dull, the author could not keep my attention or interest, because there was little action or excitement. Although I found it dull the book is well written, the writing style is very creative. The story makes the reader think about their one life. The "patient" represents the every day man, therefore the situations in the book parallel people's own life experiences.
