Lewis. The premise is a demon, (tempter) writing letters to his nephew (junior temptor) in order to train him on how to best convert a soul away from Christianity. It's a fascinating premise, and I can only imagine how difficult it was for Lewis to write, being an extremely devout Catholic (as you all know). There are some philosophical insights in this book that are just incredible. I do think I'd get a lot more out of it if I were religious or spiritual, but I still found it worth my time for sure. Despite being "from the perspective of a demon" you can tell this was written by someone with an extremely high regard for Christianity, there are a few descriptions of God and Christianity that just come off a little too favorable to feel like it was believably written by a demon, small gripe, but it makes me roll my eyes sometimes as feeling a little preachy (which should be expected when reading Lewis imo). That being said, it's a satire, and a pretty good one at that, that I'd recommend. The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis #books #reviews #goodandevil My Rating : 5/5 Not an easy read .. but nevertheless enjoyed it immensely. Each page is bristling with such raw and genuine emotion - as an imp ScrewTape in higher post guides and chides and approbates his subordinate nephew WormWood while he tries to capture a pious soul for the devil - that I was convinced I was eavesdropping on some real conversation. Also wondered if this very minute there are two such imps working on snooping on me and setting up pitfalls for my own soul to trap it .. ensnare it and keep it that way for eternity!! Loved the character of Worm wood even though he doesn't utter a word. Loved the lovely chidings his uncle lobs at him. :)
"The devil," said Thomas More, "cannot endure to be mocked," and which, if correct, means that somewhere in the inferno there must be considerable annoyance.
