Ellie’s Reviews > Lolita > Status Update

How’re you finding this? I couldn’t get into it 😬

I was kind of the opposite! I found it interesting at the beginning because of the mad writing style and the taboo story and being put in the shoes of this strange character who's a bit in love with himself, but then after they actually got together it got quite repetitive and strung out. Would've worked better as a short story

I liked that he's an untrustworthy narrator and you have to look at him in the context rather than just go along with what he says. I found the review on the back by Martin Amis possibly more disturbing than the story itself

("You read Lolita sprawling limply in your chair, ravished, overcome, nodding scandalized assent")
