I absolutely adore Nabokov's virtuotic use of language. It really has a sublime feel to it. The plot begins to intensify towards the ending of the book, which made me beg for a climax in the last pages - and I wasn't disappointed.
I was left wondering, how much of a metaphor the blindness actually was! Love is blind indeed.
