It really just wasn't the writing style for me. It was a really quick read though.

So much wit. The familiarity with which Platt has with Lewis' prose is nearly indistinguishable. I loved this book so much it made me want to revisit Screwtapes Letters and then this again. As a complimentary note to Lewis' work, I am confidently able to admit that this was a marvelous read even the great, late apologist and cultural critic, Lewis, would appreciate.
Thank you for the entertaining and revelatory read. Not to mention its contemporary awareness.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Bought this at a lovely little used bookstore in San Diego; the reviews and demonically cute illustrations hooked me.
Not quite as profound as the original "Screwtape Letters," but the playful tone is spot on and equally enjoyable.
Though I disagreed with some of the author's viewpoints (particularly on science and the Sexual Revolution), the book was thought provoking. Worth it.
