Jeromy Irons the narrator carries this for me. I hate hate hate hate hate our main character, Humbert Humbert, and while this book is a fantastic example of unreliable narration, he is not redeemable in any ways. Having actually read this book also makes me reevaluate earlier assessments of this story I’ve heard before by others, namely that you will feel bad for Humbert. The opening of Captain Fantastic comes to mind in this regard. And if you share this sentiment, that you are sorry for this monster, then you are telling on yourself. I’m glad I read this, I think it should be read, but I will never touch it again.
