Reading this book was not only higly triggering and disturbing, but felt so pointless in trying to analyse it on a higher level.
I read a plot summary for the last third I had left and I'm glad I did that instead of pushing through the remaining pages of this novel.
I understand why it's a classic.
But!
I don't understand how it's described to be dangerously decieving the reader into sympathizing with Humbert.

I don't want to add anything to my initial review explaining why I didn't finish this novel, even though I managed to read the remaining pages after cooling down a bit.
This book was a tough read, expecially for me as a survivor myself.
Please be careful reading this piece of work if you've had experiences regarding child sexual abuse yourself.
