A review by bunnyovani
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
5.0
Wow, I actually listened to the audio book with Jeremy Irons narrating, and it was amazing.
For the record, Jeremy Irons as a book narrator could possibly be the best thing to experience ever. His voice is well...you know...it's Jeremy Irons.
Now for the book. Humbert Humbert is a disgusting, sad, vile, sick man. Just totally insane and obsessed and sinister. It was amazing how disgusting I found him to be, yet Nabokov wrote this book in such a way that I didn't want to stop listening.
Delores, Dolly, Lo, Lolita...what an interesting character. Sometimes she's a petulant child, other times your heart just breaks for her because she's stuck with HH then other times...meh I didn't really like her all that much.
I really liked this book. Hateful characters, disgusting subject matter and all.
