Helpful Score: 2
I believe this book to a be a modern-day classic equivalent to C.S. Lewis' Screwtape Letters. I am over 60 years old, yet this book brought to light profound truths that I had not thought of before although they seem so obvious once I read the book. The author has a gift for characterization and plot development which keeps one turning pages and staying up late at night just to find out what happens next. Spiritually profound and a "keeper" you will want to read more than once!

"A look at one demon's reflection on his fall from grace, and the shuddering implications for each of us. It will change the way you look at life--
A good read.
A good read.
Demon: A Memoir by Tosca Lee was a wonderful read. Lee's writing is superb. Although much of the story takes the form of dialog, it was suspenseful and kept me turning those pages.
I also appreciated the biblical story told from such a unique and possibly controversial perspective. It really did show God's love for mankind, and I honestly didn't expect that before I read the novel. Along with that, I thought the story spoke volumes about how easily we can judge others without knowing what is really going on in their lives, something we all need to be reminded of daily.
It was easy to relate to Clay, the main character. His emotions and interactions felt genuine.
This isn't a novel for someone who wants a typical happy ending. Clay has to make a choice, and Lee leaves the story open-ended, allowing the reader to make their own decision about what happens. This greatly added to the whole idea behind the story, so it was very fitting in my opinion. I'm really looking forward to Lee's next novel.

Wow.
Fascinating.
I'm not sure that I have the words to describe my experience with this book. And I do mean experience. I didn't just read this story. I was completely drawn into it. Full review at my website.
