Me ha gustado muchísimo, pero también me ha costado horrores terminarlo. Lo único a lo que ponerle alguna pega ha sido el final, pero en sí el libro una maravilla.

An absolutely beautiful piece of fiction about a pedophile. Who knew?

I don't think I can say anything about this book that hasn't already been said, but the main thing that stuck out to me was how absurdly, hilariously pathetic Humbert Humbert is as a character.

I picked this up because it was recommended online for helping to study for the GRE. It was a fabulous read. Reading about the psychological decay of Humbert Humbert feels very reminiscent of Dorian's madness in The Picture of Dorian Gray. I found this book to something of a guilty pleasure. People I talked to were a bit dismayed when they found out what this book was about, but I'd still recommend it to anyone interested in watching a soul descend into chaos.

Traumatisingly perverse, but stunningly written.
Magical prose.
