The Gnome King reviewed Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
Review of 'Lolita' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Really underwhelmed by this "classic" there were a few times it got interesting but most of the time it was full of waffle written by an author showing off that he had his own copy of a thesaurus.
I really struggled to get past of all those pointlessly big words, what helped was the boring part in the middle describing in minute detail the journey he takes with Lolita. The last third of the book was really good, it was enjoyable reading everything unravel for HH.
As for the subject matter I was expecting to be uncomfortable having two daughters myself, but it was written in a way that you don't see a child, more a young woman.
This one goes onto the pile "I made it the end and ain't gonna recommend this ever!"
