"Was it possible? Could it be he? Here, all this time?"

If what I think is happening is happening... it better not be

I actively hate this

So far the most shocking part has been Hannibal licking Clarice's steering wheel — with specific attention to the groves of her fingers. Can't imagine why that was cut from the film adaptation

I feel ill

"The important part is it makes you forget terrible things'" I say

The alcoholism foreshadowing sure is upsetting to read!

"And while Lenore Dove will forever be my true love, Louella is my one and only sweetheart."

I feel physically sick. I can tell this book is gonna make the rest of the series even more tragic upon rereading.

ACOTAR wishes it could be this

Oh! Well, I honestly wasn't expecting Maxim to confess that

The second-hand social anxiety this is giving me is insane. I feel ill

Every few pages he has to pause to assure the reader that he is incredibly handsome and intelligent and the most special guy ever. So what I'm getting at is that I wish I had the level of grandeur self delusions that Humbert Humbert has.

"I daresay you see me already frothing at the mouth in a fit; but no, I am not; I am just winking happy thoughts into a little tiddle cup." Okay thank God Humbert has these little quips throughout that unintentionally make me laugh, because reading two pages about his nymphet beliefs was ROUGH

"Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul." The opening paragraph has no right to be as good as it is.

"You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style" - I don't think many murderers have such a way with purple prose as you do Humbert.

Oh man, I'm just going to be imagining Pamela Rabe as Mrs Danvers throughout this read so I already know I'm doomed to love her
