so many thoughts with this one. i read the first half months ago and put it down once humbert had lolita all to himself. i found it stale and hard to read after that. but i finished the other half in a day. so i don’t know. nabokov’s writing is beautiful, an absolute masterclass on exquisite vocabulary and themes. that being said it got a bit repetitive. it could’ve done better if it were 100 pages shorter but it is what it is and still manages to captivate and shock. i’m leaving this a changed person, and at the end of the day that’s all a book should do. i want to watch the movie, read about this, it’s incredibly interesting. i really enjoyed it and will probably revisit.
