Book Reviews of Lolita
Book Review: Great trip inside the mind of a madman
Summary: 4 Stars
Lolita is much more than a love story between a pedophile and his object of desire. It's a fascinating glimpse inside the mind of a man who is slowly but surely going insane. Granted, you're not quite right in the head when you refer to 12-year-old girls as "nymphets," but throw in a little insomnia, a few murderous thoughts, some hallucinations and a heck of a lot of paranoia and you got yourself a crazy man! Nabokov's mastery of the written word makes this novel a delightful read considering the disturbing subject matter. You'll marvel at the fact you're chuckling at passages which would normally make your skin crawl. Nabokov is the lord of literature and Lolita is his masterpiece.
