I felt a lot of different things and I didn’t expect pity for a pedophile to be one of them.

4.0

Ce livre est le plaidoyer d'un violeur pedophile. La prose romantique pourrait laisser croire que l'auteur tente de nous adoucir. Plutôt, le texte rédigé à la première personne laisse entrevoir le manque d'intérêt que porte Humbert pour Dolores, et à quelle point celle-ci est malheureuse avec lui.

slow-paced

3.0

I don't even know what to rate this, it certainly made me immensely uncomfortable and there were often times where the author went on a ramble. I understand the purpose of this book, I just don't know that I needed to read it to get that insight.

The writing is superb. The subject matter is abhorrent and hard to get through. But the prose, OMG.
