[quote=Anonymous]I haven't read Lolita since 2011, but I vividly remember that I was really disturbed by it. Partially because I kind of enjoyed it. Nabokov is a master at putting you inside the mind of someone - even when you don't want to be there. Humbert is completely despicable and because it's all through his point of view and Nabokov is such a great writer, you start to believe Humbert's view of what's happening - that Lolita is seducing him and that everything that happens is actually her fault. I had to fight against that continually, though I wonder if I would have that same experience if I read it as a 46 year woman now. It's the first book Nabakov wrote in English and it's impressive. But, yeah, it's disgusting. It's worth a read! [/quote]
