Lolita By Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov

Lolita
By Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov
This book was an extremely disturbing, perverse and abnormal experience, which I found really hard to relate to (being a non peodophilic female heterosexual). Normally I don't find classics hard to read (some people complain about language) but at times I felt bored because it wasn't picking up pace. Generally speakng it was ironically a fun and light read which I rather enjoyed.


  Was it a good book? Yes, it was. But I do not think it deserves to make it to the 'greatest novels' list. It's claim lies in its controversial themes and entertaining, funny plot rather than how well it was written. This book could most probably have been condensed into a novella .
