A review by thefinalgirl
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
No stars
The only reason I will accept the existence of this is to show how absolutely horrid it is to even think for a second a relationship with a 14 year old as a grown man would ever work.
It’s uncomfortable and nauseating to read the entire time. Not only for a few scene or chapters… the ENTIRE novel was hard to get through.
This novel shows you how much of a child she is. Her tantrums are such a center point in almost every scene. And If it’s not an outburst it’s her asking what something is or making a crude, childish joke.
Because that’s what she is: a child
It shows you how awful their life was on the run. H.H. Was terrified of being caught and Lo thought it was hilarious because she’s a kid and everything is hilarious.
This isn’t a book to idolize and it’s not something to read and hope happens to you. It’s not a book that you should take a run with, because if you think it’s romantic… you greatly misunderstood it.
