“I'm giving it a rest right now, because I have to struggle to get to the end of a page... Reading has to be a pleasure, not torture. Russian literature isn't one of my favs... :(”

“Lo-li-ta. Tan solo la dicción de dicha palabra, es un deleite sensorial dentro de tu boca. Un inicio magistral para lograr la atracción del público. Inclusive retador y transgresor para su época. Conforme se adentra en la vida de Humbert Humbert, y su "malsana" obsesión hacia una niña de tan solo 13 años. Es una persona arrastrada por la vorágine pasional del contacto diario con una ninfula que resulta ser demasiado precoz en la materia de seducción. El relato va en crescendo, observando simplemente como ambos personajes son arrastrados por esta pasión que los arrolla; al final, la decisión es clara, se tiene que acabar... terminanmente.
A través del libro, Nabokov juega con diversas pistas que le permiten al lector dedicado, descubrir con anticipación, ciertos elementos del magistral final. Adicional, es recomendable leer las notas finales de Nabokov sobre este libro.
Nota: Ninfulas, son niñas entre 9 y 14 años... ¿Qué sucede con las señoritas entre 17 y 23, cuya precocidad te puede arrastrar?”

“So once I got past the "icky" part of the story, I really enjoyed this book. Sometimes it felt wrong to be laughing, but it really is somewhat humorous at times. And I think it says a lot about the writer that he made me feel sorry for the narrator even though the dude was having sex with his 13-year-old step-daughter. Obviously I don't agree with what the guy was doing, but I was still able to appreciate the way he described how it felt to be in love.”

“Best line in the book: "And I knew as surely as I was to die that I loved her more than anything I'd ever seen or imagined on earth."”

• Rated 3 stars

“The subject matter made it difficult to get through, but the language was beautiful. Went on and on in some parts, but in others, such as the end scene with Cue, are beautifully and creatively written.”
