Humbert Humbert is a wonderful protagonist. Entertaining, revolting and pitiable all at once.

Nabokov's mastery of the English language here is amazing. One can only marvel at what he must read like in his native Russian.

This story is a tragedy, superbly told by an articulate, self-aware protagonist, not unlike Humbert Humbert of Lolita fame.

While the text itself is easy to read and the primary message clearly understood, expect to leave this book frustrated if you can't be bothered investing some thought into it.

Wow. Rip the cover off and you'd never have guessed who wrote it.
