Me debato entre ponerle tres o cuatro estrellas. Porque por un lado me enamoré de la forma de escribir de Nabokov, me duele terriblemente que muchas de las frases dignas de subrayar sean escritas desde la perspectiva de un personaje despreciable. Creo que ese es el encanto de la novela, siempre había escuchado que el libro estaba escrito de una forma hermosa y al leerlo lo confirmé. Genera la incomodidad que pretende el autor, odio haber conocido el concepto de ninfula que el personaje creó porque es una terminología tan retorcida que no se irá de mi cabeza fácilmente. Pero por otro lado, no es un libro que me haya encantado en absoluto. Sé que se trata de ficción y al tener esto en cuenta no me perturbó hasta el punto de no continuar la lectura, pero simplemente no es un libro que volvería a leer por gusto propio.

Ew. I don't  like reading  from this man's pov. I think it might actually  be too triggering for me and I don't  get very triggered
