The Screwtape Letters by C.S Lewis

The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Using the epistolary exchanges between an "experienced tempter", Screwtape and his "amateur tempter" nephew, Wormwood to disclose the Christian people's moral and spiritual blunders is unquestionably a product of a genius' thinking.

This is one of those laborious reads worth one's time. Through Lewis's "somewhat" satirical tone, I was able to reflect my own flawed faith. He tackled each of the human frailties which temptation can easily and deliberately pierce through thus reminding the readers what part of their morality they are bound to augment.

Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl

Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank

My rating: 1 of 5 stars

3 reasons why 1 star is enough:

1. I couldn't relate to what she was saying - "puppy love" with Peter: been there (no, not with Peter), menstruation: like that is so interesting at my age! xD

2. She kept on ranting about how much she detested the people she was with inside the Annex, especially her mother and Mrs. van Daan. It's annoying. Sorry, Anne. I have nothing against you but you kept on going over and over with your feelings of animosity that it no longer was amusing.

3. If it's about the Holocaust you're after, better read another book. The only thing that's interesting about this book is that it's written by someone who actually experienced it.

Had I known that what I wanted to read was at the end of the book, I should have just read the last part. Yes the last part which actually is not a part of her diary. xD
