As One Devil To Another

"As One Devil To Another" by Richard Platt is written as a series of letters between two devils. The first devil, Scardagger is a recent graduate of Temptation University, and is just beginning his career. The second devil, is Scardagger's uncle and mentor, Slashreap. This book is written as letters from Slashreap to Scardagger, offering advice, tricks, and manipulations in order to acquire the souls of humans to please their "Infernal Majesty".

The way this book is written is very different from most contemporary works on the market today, but I just loved that it was so unique. The letters that Slashreap writes to Scardagger are meant to show us how the devil and his minions can use smaller situations, big decisions, and our own human weaknesses in a way that can cause us to fall into sin. I thought that this book really gave an inside glimpse into the master plan of our enemy, and really found it to be interesting and thought-provoking.

 Each chapter consists of one letter between these devils, and each letter is only a few pages long, so this would be an easy read if you read one of the letters each day. I really enjoyed this book, and think that it can definitely shine a little light on some of the devil's tricks - and who can't use a little one up on the devil? I would highly recommend this book to anyone. I would give this book a 5/5.
