Supernatural (3/3 people found this helpful)
If you ever wondered how Great Britain lost its greatness - this book has a few answers. It is not just a book for our time, it is a book for all time. Joss Ackland's interpretation borders on the supernatural. This is a jewel of an audiobook.
The Screwtape Letters (0/8 people found this helpful)
Written by CS Lewis to Tolkein. I have this one but I'm not sure
how to take it, some people have found it funny as I noticed in a review. I would recommend as depending on varying sense of humours I'm sure it could be enjoyed.
The Devil can be fun. (10/10 people found this helpful)
Short chapters, deadly serious, hilarious and brilliantly orig-
inal. A classic in every sense of the word. The devil-teacher,
Screwtape, advises his nephew-pupil, Wormwood, how to gather and
hold onto his patients' souls. There are sly wry observations on
humans, so true and pithy. A topsy-turvy world. A devilish slant
on, for example, Robert Burns's advice to a young man. There are
digs at the churches and religion that are spot on. It is a mar-
vellous dissection of human nature, so incisive one would almost
squirm. Joss Ackland's rendition is super, all the emotions of a
caring, work-weary, sarcastic and despairing schoolteacher. Buy
"Screwtape" and enjoy it forever.
