    excellent, one of the best books ive ever written. both movies are beautiflly acted and written. I've read this book iover and over again. It's magnificent. Recommended to anyone who enjoys fine literature, and won't mock the ideas and perverted storyline.

    Humbert was a twisted individual. Don't fall into his sinister trap which is the power of language.

    Beautifully written, I am so glad I wasn't deterred by my hesitations in reading it. It took me 3 years to finally get to it, lol but oh i am glad I did

    Not just beautifully written, but the fact that Humbert was a human, not some pervert is illuminated by the end..

    Very cleverly written. Nabokov manages to make readers sympathize with Humbert despite his sick obsession over Dolores Haze

    I don't see what is so 'disturbing'. It was a very beautiful novel.

    Somewhat disturbing subject but it was written in such a great way that you can actually sympathize with the narator. I really liked the style, all in all a good book!
