Ada, or Ardor is funny and enjoyable; however, it took forever to read. I spent 12-days with this book, which is 9-days more than I cared to have had. The language that Nabokov uses was rather confusing in the first three chapters; I had no clue what was going on, as the language was far too intelligent for me. Once the story got going, the language did become easier to understand, although there was a whole chapter, later on, dedicated to time and space, which was confusing. All that said, for a book about incest it was a fun read, and if you like Lolita, you'll likely enjoy Ada, or Ardor.
