my thoughts are so chaotic from this book.
The story, of course, is disturbing and i cannot understand how people can misinterpretated/romanticized it.
Humbert made my blood boil, made me want to bag my head against the wall β but, that's kind of his purpose.
Nabokov's writing is poetically delicious, i loved the way this was written. There are disturbing quotes in his poetic writing that just ate.
the only thing β the reason it's not five stars β is that the part where they travel through US was boring me and the amount of town names etc:. we're overwhelming.
that's all π
