Only major complaint I can think of right now is: too much French. There are whole passages written in French, and no translation was provided in my cpoy. As a result, entire sentences were lost to me, because I was not about to transcribe whole phrases into google translate at one in the morning. As Dolly amusingly put: "But do you mind very much cutting out the French? It annoys everybody." I am everybody!

People give this book a low rating out of disgust for how he describes a child, but the fact you're so disgusted means the author did their job perfectly. Anyone who reads this book and thinks that Nabokov's intention was to villainise the 'teasing' child and make HH the victim, clearly missed the point.
