This is an absolute masterpiece.
Listen even if you fundamentally disagree with this book, you should probably still read it, even if only not to make a ack-jass out of yourself when you try to explain why it's the worst ever actually. BUT! If you think this book is really cool and romantic actually you should probably still read it even if only to really double check on what Dolores Haze is actually doing/saying and maybe dont listen to everything Humbert Humbert says?? (Talking to you Vanity Fair).
Beautiful, poetic writing but an abhorrent theme and a detestable main character
