My sweet love, you who like this book so much, to you the three stars worth of my infinite devotion for you...
I'm incapable of writing thoughtful and in-depth reviews so if that's what you're looking for, please continue scrolling by.
I've been meaning to read Lolita for a very long time. When I was in high school, a friend of mine did a presentation on it in English class and then I wanted to read it more than ever. Fast forward three years or so and I'm in university. I'm taking a Russian literature class with a couple of friends "for fun" and this book is on the reading list.
I just had to gobble it up.
Lolita is a beautiful and twisted book.
Nabokov is a genius.
That is all.
Also, I have absolutely no desire to write a quiz on this book next week please kill me.
