In this classic satire a demon, named Screwtape, writes to his nephew, Wormwood. In this satire, Screwtape is somewhat of a mentor to Wormwood, giving him advice on how to deceive the person that Wormwood is in charge of. This is a satire, as it gives an insight, for Christians, or other readers, into how Satan steals, kills, and destroys.
A friend recommended this book to me, as I was looking for some classics that would be easy to read. This one did not disappoint, in fact I was pleasantly surprised. I thought that it would be boring, considering the time it was written, the idea that it is a satire, and I was just all in all worried I wouldn’t understand it. All of my previous ideas about it were completely changed, and now, I would recommend this to someone who wants to dip their toe into the pond of classics, but isn’t sure where to start.
