Chocante, original e bem articulado. Esse livro é um must pra você mudar a sua perspectiva. 

Nabokov não tem medo de escancarar como você é manipulável a partir do momento que a figura é carismática e (minimamente) jovial. Ótima escrita, você fica tão imerso e interessado no enredo que, por momentos, esquece os feitios do narrador. 
Ele criou o significado de narrador não confiável.

Fico feliz que Dolores teve a chance de se casar com uma pessoa descente, ela mereceu essa paz depois de ter perdido toda a infância.

Este es un libro que en su gran mayoría me generó una gran repulsión,  pero la descripciones del autor es difícil no llegar a empatizar con el personaje cuando se describe tan bien la miseria por la qué esta pasando. El final no es satisfactorio y el camino es incómodo.  ¿Qué me dejo este libro? No sé ¿Lo volvería a leer? No creo ¿Me perturbó la existencia? Definitivamente. 

Entiendo porque se volvió un clásico,  entiendo porque alguien quisiera sumergirse y analizar cada detalle. Entiendo porque fue censurado tan vorazmente. Entiendo porque se considera de culto. Pero es muy difícil expresarlo en palabras sin extenderme demasiado.
