Really struggled to rate this one. Probably one of the best books I'll never read again. I actually hated it so much and really struggled to get through it, especially at the end when it gets quite graphic. But it is definitely a very cleverly written story, very challenging and unfortunately very vivid. If you can bottle it I'd recommend it but it's not for the faint of heart. Very, very disturbing.

Graphic: Pedophilia, Rape
If this is your favorite book you’re probably a sicko and I don’t like you. This book is extremely hard to read because of the way he thinks about women and I completely understand it’s through a pedophiles eyes but I feel like that’s a viewpoint no one asked for. The author is a good writer, although he doesn’t know how to use commas to save his life❤️

hard read but a classic for a reason. I wish they'd respect Nabokov's wishes and stop putting girls on the cover

Nabokov has written the most delicious, seductive prose I have ever read. I can effectively measure my life (well, at least my reading life) in two sections - before and after I read Lolita.
