Can I just ask why Goodreads is being such a bad word so far as routinely freezing up in the middle of reviews is concerned? Seriously. Every time I find a book and mark it "read," Goodreads asks me to rate and review it. I try to oblige. And every single time I do so, I end up having to delete it a...

Ah, C.S. Lewis. All Christians read him. I have to admit, he is not one of my favorite Christian authors, nor do I think him as brilliant as so many do. I appreciate him. I've tried to read the Narnia Chronicles twice. I watched the movie. I appreciate the effort. But. I. just. can't. ...

C.S. Lewis deserves a medal for this book. It takes more than imagination to create such a piece. That is not a sacrifice easily given & I applaud his sacrifice!

This book is hard to read since catching the true meaning of the letters lays on a game of reverse psychology applied to each sentence. It was tiring and it made the reading really slow and frustrating and tedious (unless you accept without questioning every point listed by the author). I still thin...

There's positively nothing I can add to what other reviewers have already said much better than I ever could. So I'll just toss in my agreement.This is a beautiful little book, artfully written and an example of masterful satire. It makes you think while you read, and what's more, you're aware tha...

4.5 Stars I'm neither religious nor a woman of faith and I still thoroughly enjoyed this book. Not only was the language and the humor a delight but I was completely engaged with the arguments presented sometimes incredulous at how such an obviously intelligent man can propose such inanities and oth...

I had to read this for a religion class. Normally those force fed books were my least favorite works but I loved this one. To explain how I feel about it this is how I read it: My backpack had fifty pounds of textbooks, I was wearing four inch pumps and cute red dress that I had to be careful in, an...

I think that Andy Serkis is a god among men -- or at least a very excellent devil!I've read the book before -- it's entertaining, but I thought this dramatization was wonderful. Definitely worth a listen. I'd recommend it to anybody at all susceptible to Lewis's writing who likes audiobooks. It's co...

Wickedly funny. Sneering but at other times understated sarcasm will either challenge or enrage (all those one star reviews) depending on your belief. Written in an epistolary style between the uber-demon Wormwood as he tries to give advice to his novice demon nephew Screwtape, as he tries to corr...
