Customer Reviews
A brilliant piece
C.S Lewis has written a truly remarkable book. Taking traditional Christian writing, and turning it on its heads, Lewis offers insights, wisdom, and knowledge from a point of view quite literally opposite of what you would expect. A brilliant work.
Is this supposed to be funny?
Besides being riddled with typos (“cat your cake and have it too”), the text is very obtuse and seems like the epitome of talking for hours without actually saying anything. I kept waiting for some kind of payoff or twist, but arguably the most unexpected thing is Screwtape being turned into a centipede and having to dictate part of one of his letters to his secretary.
