I enjoyed the book - Lewis is novel and works past the gimmick in writing from devil POV to give some really valuable insights about how human nature and sin works. Probably my fault I read it lazily, skimming bits instead of trying to absorb the rich prose.

Great book but it was so dark that I had to take it in small doses.

C.S. Lewis absolutely dragging me from 80 years away

I hope the devil assigned to me is like Wormwood.
