5.0 out of 5 stars One of the 20th centuries finest literary expeditions..., February 14, 2007
Introducing Humbert Humbert or H.H. - one of the strangest characters in all of literature.. A man obsessed.. and blinded by love..
Nabokov's prose just drips with tantalising beauty.. he captures the psychology of a man so well.. as to leave us feeling like we have just totally inhabited someone's mind.. It is disturbing, sure, but also thought provoking and thouroughly engrossing..
Strangely this is not a book about child abuse or a tale of morality.. It is the story of love and what it does to the brain... How we are so overtaken by our emotions as to blind us to everything else... This is truly an achievement few authors have made.. Only the likes of James Joyce could probe so deeply into the subconcious of such a character.. A work of genius..

5.0 out of 5 stars "Lolita, light of my life....", April 15, 2007
By F. Ali (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Eccentric. Passionate. Ultimately tragic. If books were men, "Lolita" would be my soulmate. As previous reviewers have so eloquently conveyed, Vladamir Nabokov was a ridiculously talented writer who so beautifully and seamlessly spun a tale of love and obsession. Oh, the obsession. It's the heart of the story. It's twisted and horrible, the things Humbert Humbert does, but you're drawn into his story the way you are to a train wreck. Ahh, just read it. You can't go wrong with it. Even if you don't have much stomach for pervy older men lusting after nymphets, read it for the prose. No one can write about mad-driven by obsession like Nabokov.

5.0 out of 5 stars Different than you expect, February 3, 2007
By Bryan Jacobs (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There were many incorrect preconceived notions I had about this novel, that were dispelled once I read it. The book is centered around a startling contradiction: A monster that worships purity. The book unfolds around this theme with some of the most beautiful prose you will ever read.

Purely (and impurely) and simply (via the most flamboyant use of language imaginable) this is the Great American Novel, period. A masterwork.
