The Letter - a lost art
The content, tone and pacing is superb. Eighty years old but still so relevant for today’s world.

Astounding!
It’s eye and mind opening to look at things from the devil’s perspective. So intelligently and entertainingly written. May C.S.Lewis rest in God’s peace and mercy.

A true modern classic
Believe it or not, it's hard to review a book that is this good. How do you find the right words to express how compulsive the listening expirience becomes by the end? How do you convey just how much it has effected and changed you as a person? Expressions like 'entertaining', 'thought provoking' and 'razor sharp satire' just don't do it justice. All I can really say is this: buy it now!

How not to be Screwtaped!
I've listened to this before, about 5/6 years ago. At that time I was just discovering C S Lewis and found this very amusing. I re listened to it today and, because my personal circumstances have changed since I first heard it, I now heard it as a cautionary tale, as clues to some of my thinking or behaviour! It truly opened my eyes to the possible adverse influences in my life!
So, if this is your first venture into C S Lewis, or the first time buying this in audiobook - this is a great listen. Either as a lighthearted piece, or as a 'How not to be Screwtaped' both are invaluable - Enjoy.

The machinations of the enemy
I'm grateful for Lewis's clear depictions of various strategies used by Satan's minions.
Well done that man.
Perhaps someone can continue the letters to bring us up to date.

Classic and insightful
Highly recommend. A book that will transform how you think. Lewis' captures a world we don't know in a way that makes it real and causes you to reflect on cynical opinions.

Very enjoyable and very relevant
A good reading
The source material is very relevant and I would recommend. Human frailties are timeless

in the Devil's mind.
I throughly enjoyed this book. The satire is clever, consistent and funny from the first page to the last. It depicts, in a likely manner, if such thing is possible, the thinking of a devil. C.S.Lewis is a Christian but the book can be enjoyed by anyone.

Why the exemplary reviews?
Loved the authors Narnia series and was interested to see some of his other work as it was on special offer. I have to say though that this was dreadful from start to finish and if it wasn’t for the fact that it was so short, I would have stopped listening before the end.
It is just a series of letters narrated, which extol the virtues of manipulating people towards the devil and evil deeds. There is nothing clever about it and it is certainly not gripping in anyway. Clearly just the polar-opposite views of the author whom was known to be a devout Christian. He very much comes from the angle that Christianity is the only way for the world to survive and look what happens if you turn away from it.
I truly don’t know how anybody could find this entertaining, but these reviews suggest I am in a minority of one so there you go. I must just have very bad taste.
