About this listen
A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below". At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C. S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old devil to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man. The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging and humorous account of temptation - and triumph over it - ever written.

Greater Perspective
It was eye opening hearing a book written this way, and helped me reflect on my own beliefs and actions.

A book for all times but especially ours
The letters are wicked and delightful. Joss Auckland is peerless in conveying subtle performances and here he is a joy.
Treat yourself. This is the version to go for.

great analysis of the human condition
a classic, which as the author admits, must have been hard to write. dark and foreboding yet humorous. a deep insight into what makes us tick.

Powerful look behind the curtain
Recommend this book to anyone interested in overcoming their demons. To understand the enemy is to overcome them.

Exquisitely read by the late Joss Ackland
Very well done! Joss animates Lewis' devil in a way that I think Lewis would heartily have approved of I strongly recommend this book

very clever spiritual read
CS Lewis outlines the clever ways the evil one tempts us humans to give up a relationship with God. The narration is entertaining, and the evil villian laughter is amusing.

Delightful
I have always enjoyed this book but listening to it being performed seems even more appropriate. It justs seems so deliciously real when I am listening in on their conversation. Well done!

Very British Accent
The guy who reads the book has a very thick British accent and goes up and down in volume too much. The book itself is great, but the performance is bad.

Hauntingly perfect satire read masterfully.
Haunting and sweet at the same time. What a perfect description of the struggle to be a Christian, from the point of view of the devils who try to tempt us. And the narrator's performance is so perfect in every note. Well worth it.
