“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.”
“I didn't like this book it was very disturbing ”
“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!”
“shud i read it?”
“What type of book is this?”
“Another great Russian writer. Even though this book is American..it has that Russian sensibility.BTW Lolita reminds me of 'A short History of Tractors in Ukrainian' of the east-european papa who marries a women half his age... now I can't help but think..what is it about these 'dirty old men' from east-europe. In Atwoods Cat's Eye, the narrators lover who is 15 years her senior is from Hungary..are they all 'Humberts'? And how did they get to be that way? That's what I want to know.”
“My friend told me about this book. Sounds interesting. Planning to read it, hopefully, soon.”
