About this listen
The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging account of temptation, and triumph over it, ever written.
(P)2006 Blackstone Audio Inc.Critic Reviews
Audie Award Finalist, Inspirational/Spiritual, 2007
Known for The Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis wrote the wittiest defense of Christianity ever. Humorist John Cleese won AudioFile Earphones for his 1999 enactment of the correspondence between two devils plotting the damnation of one man's soul. Ralph Cosham is a slightly less demented fiend, but the text itself remains hilarious.... Cosham's organ-like voice also lends resonance.... This is, therefore, the best audio ever spoken of the funniest defense of Christianity ever written." (AudioFile magazine)
"Lewis' satire is a Christian classic....[his] take on human nature is as on-target as it was when the letters were first published in 1941." (Library Journal)

Sly but unsuccessful
The anatomy of hate from a true professional. The mentor and mentee relationship is a delight.

it's gently funny and relates so well to our current situation
The narrator is excellent, while the story of a senior devil teaching the junior version is calmly hilarious. it takes a little time to unpack, but it's good. CS Lewis was a great soul and writer.

CS Lewis knew his stuff
Lewis really understood the salvation battle. I'm glad he said it was hard to write from the enemy's perspective. But a beautiful job nonetheless.

minor irritation
great narration, but very fast jump from end of one chapter to beginning of next. not a big problem, but irritating.

Surprisingly relevant and an enjoyable listen
This is a densely packed book, but still very accessible and easily held my interest throughout.

Brilliant. Couldn't put it down.
This was one of the most pleasant and illuminating books I've ever read. And so relevant for modern times. CS Lewis is a genius.

top notch
C.S.Lewis was a genius. I really appreciated seeing Christian doctrine from the perspective of the demons and Satan. Seeing Christian doctrine in this perspective really helped to shine light on some theological principles

Still interesting
Moderns might have difficulty with this subject but they will be rewarded if they try. Not as prosaic as it might first seem and an interesting little historical story beneath the obvious narrative.

Ageless and so relevant, and very well presented.
I have been waiting a long time to get into this classic, and it did not disappoint.

Brilliant writing
This is my first book by CS Lewis and it was masterful in its humour and wit. Bringing levity to such a scary topic as eternal damnation, when all other literature on this topic gets so very cliche, was very refreshing.
