took me forever to finish due to the complexity of the language and also indigestible story themes but the more i read and the more revealed about humbert humberts psyche the more i was able to enjoy the book. the dichotomy between the ugly contents of the book vs the glamorous style of writing made it interesting to read and analyse. i particularly enjoyed nabokovs thoughts on the book at the end. though romantically written the book is not a romance in the slightest but rather a view into the mind of the twisted and decrepit.
