4.0

Horrible story paired with marvelous writing. I'm no psychologist but I think both Humbert and Dolly were portrayed excellently, and everything surrounding Dolly's trauma and Humbert's psychology felt very real. The book is disgusting and stomach-turning without being openly explicit or tantalizing (unless you're like Humbert, I guess). Overall a fantastic read, I just found many segments of the book quite slow and uninteresting.

Also why tf is Romance one of the top tags on Goodreads??
