This is a five star book but not in the "glamorization of pedophilia" type of way that many people consider it to be. Although it's true that in popular culture it has taken on a sort of mystique as a romanticization of attraction to "nymphets", but Nabokov would be rolling in his grave if he knew that his work had been received this way. It's truly a fantastic example of the rapid degradation of our culture that has led to the misinterpretation of such base and key texts.
