“I would recommend this book to anyone. It's fascinating”
“Maybe I'm trying to read it at the wrong time - definitely not summer reading - I just can't get into it!”
“Great book that shows the real life of Iranian women and their sufferings...”
“A courageous voice that speaks of the myriad ways in which women in Iran are ´robbed´ of their lives, in much the same way that Humbert Humbert stole Lolita´s life in the book of the same title. ”
“Hi. I'm so eager to read this book. I live in Tehran. Is there someone help me where to find the book?”
“I know the writer and I've read a number of articles on the book. I wanna read it...... BUT It's not available here in Iran :(”
“Reading Lolita in Tehran is a woman's journey throug the early stages of Iranian Revolution. I beleive her account of the events were correct but a non-irani8an reader should understand things have changed for better, although it is not ideal yet. Nafisi is a good writer but more than she is a good English teacher, and here is her fall back. She has tried to compare events in her books to Iranian situation for a specific group. If someboday do no know Nabakove or etc, does not fully comprehend the book.”
