The other uses is just inanely tacked on. Who cares what these people think or say? In other words, their comments are useless and meaningless (except in a kind of appeal to authority) without some context. Why are their views important? Why should anyone care about their tastes versus those of any average joe in the street? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:14D:4002:1CC8:E6CE:8FFF:FE5E:4F7C (talk) 00:50, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps I pay too much attention to Orwell. But under Reviews I think it would be fair to notice Orwell's hostile remarks toward The Screwtape Letters, e.g., in I Write As I Please, 27 October 1944. There is also some essay which I cannot find quickly online in which Orwell complains that people who ought to know better compare Screwtape favorably to Gulliver's Travels. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.159.232.121 (talk) 17:41, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is another work based on The Screwtape Letters called To My Dear Slimeball. It is a spin-off that is meant mostly for youth, but I think it should be on the "Other literary sequels" list. The book is written by Rich Miller, in 1995.120.29.112.93 (talk) 10:53, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
