The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis is a really funny read and is a really odd book altogether.

The setting of the story is in the 20th century England. And in a way Hell because Screwtape is in hell writing the letters.

One of the many characters that are featured in the book is Screwtape. He is a demon secretary, adviser, and mentor. He is quite the boaster of his tempting days. Another Character is the Jr. tempter Wormwood. He writes to his uncle Screwtape to inform him of his progress of the Patient and his attempts to tempt which mostly end poorly. The Patient is a Human Like me and you. he lives in England and goes about his life unbeknownst to the Demons behind the scenes. Some of the other people mentioned by Screwtape is Our Father Below who is Satan. and the Enemy who is the true God.

The Plot of the story is about the designs of Screwtape and Wormwood trying to deceive the Patient. And the blundering mistakes that Wormwood makes again and again until he looses the Patient to the Enemy.

The Theme of the Screwtape letters is to show us a new and different perspective on life and tell us how to live in a more Godly way.

Any C.S. Lewis fans would enjoy and find helpful the Screwtape letters.
