5.0

this book is so long and deeply wordy, but it is absolutely worth it. nabokov's writing style is perfect for this, as humbert's obnoxious narcissistic self-pity is gloriously expressed through his writing. i think this book was brilliantly conceptualised and i'd love to read more of nabokov's work.
