Pt.1
Soooooo disappointed by this. I always expected to enjoy this book so much. Obviously the writing is beautiful, it's amazing how vivid the aesthetics are, I even feel like I'm seeing what life in America looked like in the 1950s; Nabokov is talented, undoubtedly, it's just that I can't stand reading anymore about Humbert Humbert's fucked up fantasies -

Pt.2
- He's not even a charming psychopath like Alex DeLarge or Patrick Bateman - there's nothing likeable about him at all, his inner-monologue is cringey as hell. Any personality that he might've had is all-consumed by an obsessive passion for diddling little girls (the shock factor wears off and it gets boring real quick). I can't help but think I would've enjoyed this more if I was just a tad bit more naive.
