The Screwtape Letters



(Short review)

“The Screwtape Letters”(Annotated edition)  by C.S. Lewis

One of those often referred to but never read (until now) books again. Originally a newspaper column, the text takes the form of letters of advice from an elder demon to his younger prodigy. Some wry comments about society and people’s habits,  but I found it a bit disappointing. Lewis took his Christianity very seriously and it shows. The later annotation helps but was often more interesting than the main text.
