Lolita

A very deserved classic. I was very impressed with Nabokov's lyrical command of the English language and his poetic way of describing nature and the American landscape. While some elements of this novel are graphic and could be disturbing to a sensitive reader, I was intrigued and fascinated by the multifaceted and complicated characters of both Humbert and Lolita. The book is deeply layered and delicately composed. While some literary references and the repetitive use of expansive French went over my head. I appreciated and enjoyed Nabokov's romantic deliverance, style and composition within this novel. This book is a solid 4.5/5 out of 5 star read for me and I openly encourage others to go ahead and read it, it might just surprise you!
