I think everyone should read this book, particularly everyone who has a child. It lays out, with unflinching accuracy, all the warning signs that your child may be the target of pedophilia and sexual abuse. It’s unbelievably chilling and hard to get through, but necessary. I will defend this book to its last, and not just because Nabokov is a fantastic writer. (Though not without any fault — the middle section of this book did drag considerably.)
