Summary: Good, but could be better
Review: This was a great book; the down to earth characters faced real problems such as dating, drugs, friends, sex, eating disorders, and personal will power. They face these problems as most teenagers would. Religion to me should not be taught yet a belief that manifests in your soul. The Christianity aspect of the book was often pushed from character to character in ways that would not be expected through the age group.
Mental demons trying to force "evil" onto people was a way of looking at what causes many tragedies in ones life. The blame is being set onto another without the thought of a god being to blame. The “lord” as it is referred to in the novel is different for each character, much as it is for people all over the world.
The dark sides of the novel (Lord Foulgrin’s and Prince Ishbane’s letters) distract the reader from the lessons learned by the characters. The frequency of these letters is also distracting. It may have been better to cut the total number in half.
I believe this book has an underling good message to the reader, yet getting to that message may be a little difficult.

Summary: Lord Foulgrin in back, and he's mad as hell!
Review: When we last saw the Fletcher family, they were still recovering from the death of their beloved husband and father, Jordan Fletcher.

When we last saw Lord Foulgrin, his pupil Squaltaint had turned Foulgrin's letters over to the demonic police, and Foulgrin was being dragged away to a corrections facility.

Well, Foulgrin is out, his title "Lord" has been stripped away, and he has been demoted. Ishbane, Foulgrin's former trainer, has also been reassigned to keep him in line. Of course, Foulgrin thinks he knows everything and is not above trying to teach his boss a thing or two. Luckily for Jillian Fletcher, he's still not any good at his job.

In this sequel to "Lord Foulgrin's Letters," Randy Alcorn, joined by his daughters Angela and Karina, has written another good fictional "behind the scenes" look at what the demonic forces are up to in our lives. A slight difference this time around, however, is that we get a bigger look at what is going on in the lives of our main characters.

If you liked either "Lord Foulgrin's Letters" or the C.S. Lewis original "Screwtape Letters," you will enjoy reading this book.
