Summary
So, I finally got around to reading The Screwtape Letters.
In it, Screwtape, a senior devil, an administrator in the department of temptation writes letters to his nephew, Wormwood, a junior devil, giving advice on how to be a more effective tempter.
What I liked
In his letters, Screwtape explains God's plan for humans and how the devils try to disrupt it through temptation.
What I didn't like
Screwtape seems to think that people are saved by their works. I'm not sure if this reflects C.S. Lewis' thinking or if it's wishful thinking on Screwtape's part.
In the last part of the book, Screwtape makes a long winded speech. It wasn't so interesting.
Summary
A great book. 4.9/5 devils.
