Anyone read or have read to this interesting book?
I believe John Cleese narrated one version of the audio book.

I read this about 20 years ago, in junior high. It was a fascinating perspective expressed in a unique way.

I read the book about ten or fifteen years ago.
Very good book.
The topic was written from a viewpoint so dark
that I finally had to get rid of the book.
I would say it's worth reading,
but don't read it all at once.

There is a 2009 audio-book version on CDs and a DVD as a radio play featuring Andy Serkis (The Hobbit's Golum) as the story's primary character, Screwtape. It is an amazing production!

I read and then listened during one of my C. S. Lewis phases.
