The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis
5.0

OH MY GOODNESS.

AGHHHHHWHXXJDJ.

It was so goooood. Ahhhhhahx. Okay, okay. Ehem. Time for coherency.

Five Things About The Screwtape Letters

1) SO MUCH TO PROCESS. It took me almost two months to read, and I probably would have taken longer but I rushed the end a bit so I could take it back to the library. But this book is a wealth of information. I definitely need to buy my own copy. This is the kind of book i would refer to again and again. It is a masterpiece.

2) the writing. Just...wow. It takes a little bit of getting used to, since it is pretty wordy, but my is it good. The author does such a good job of letting you know what's going on in the "patient's" life without spelling everything out to you. It is sheer brilliance.

3) This book really gave me a new perspective on ... well, just about everything. But especially sin, and just how detrimental it is. And how very real demons are in this world, which is something I used to hardly believe at all.

4) The ending makes me SO SAD AGGGH. But it was still so good.

5) JUST THE WHOLE BOOK. Guys. I'm serious. You need to go and read this. It will change your life.

ALL THE STARS POSSIBLE. Recommended to everyone with the highest approval.
