Lolita

Difficult subject matter to get into, but it was rather interesting read. I feel like this is another book I've read where the story lacks in the later half of the book, and I found myself having a hard time getting to the end. Nevertheless, worthy of a top 10 book.

didn't like the subject matter but compelling pysch, character development.

Good writing but I can't enter the character's world.

Wonderfully real piece of literature. Obsession at its most crippling. If you haven't read it, do so. Then find the movie version starring James Mason and a really creepy Peter Sellers. Great fun to compare the two.

This is an incredible book by an author of sublime talent. There are times whilst reading Lolita where I felt overjoyed as the prose practically sang off the page. Anyone with a love of literature should put this book at the top of their "to read" list.

I both loved and hated this book. I found it guiltily enthralling how well he wrote like someone who really has these thoughts. At the same time I felt sick to my stomach the whole way through because of how logical and sick the main character was. All in all, a book you should read, but get ready to have the feeling that you need a shower afterwards.

Very accurate portrayal of the 'sex trade' and the perils of being female. Although it is the perpetrator's voice we hear. He gives his view of his obsession with Lolita and (depending on the reading) seems to denigrate his victim, when he says she was not a virgin . . .

I thought this was an interesting book. I had always heard about it and now I can say I've read it. A few interesting twists and I like the perspective the author took in writing the book.
