On Lolita

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I found the book surprisingly boring. Seriously, it did, big time bores me. I at first did not know the plot, I just heard that this is a "must-read" so I bought it and excitedly read it. And then boom, it bores me to death. I literally skipped pages. I'm sorry.

But all in all, I think it's a good book. I love the story! If my rating of this book would just be based on the plot of the story and characters, I might give this a 5 out of 5, but because of the boring execution of story, and my love-hate relationship with the characters, here's a 3.

Lolita if I may say is such a bitch at an early age. She even say in the book "I'm so sorry I cheated so much, but that's the way things are." OH NO YOU DIDN'T! That part is really heartbreaking. I'm currently having a love-hate relationship with Lo's character right now.

Same as my feelings for Lo, I am also having a love-hate relationship with Humbert. I think it is really nice that you are that in love with a person and that you will do anything for that person. But I think being too much in love and obsessed and too much under that person is really BAD.

I love the story. But no joke, it bores me to death.
