A book that had me enthralled throughout the first part; a masterpiece of suspended morality and prose. However the plot seemed to tumble away from me after the first half: the narrative is curious however I am not sure I found it a convincing ending to a book that set its self up, in many regards, to be about unsequested and unrequited longing. Overall it has been a remarkable introduction to Nabokov, whom, throughout the reading of Lolita, I have grown to respect as a poet and artist.
