German review (english review further down):
Humpert, der pädophile Ich-Erzähler befriedigt seine Triebe, indem er aus der Ferne junge Mädchen (Nymphets, oder im deutschen Nymphchen genannt) beobachtet und gelegentlich junge Prostituierte aufsucht. Nachdem seine Ehe gescheitert ist, wird er Untermieter einer alleinerziehenden Mutter, allein auf Grund der Tochter Lolita, die genau seinem Ideal entspricht. Schließlich heiratet er die Mutter sogar, um in der Nähe der Tochter zu bleiben. Als die Mutt

I really liked Humbert as an Anti-Hero, especially in the first part and the beginning of the second part. At the end i had some trouble finishing it because of all that travelling and descriptions of places which felt too much.

It's a great book to think about morals and getting a look inside the head of someone like Humbert was just great, i think it's one of those books that you should really read once in a lifetime.
I don't like many classic novels but Lolita really fascinated me.

DNF at 55%

This is a first. I just dnf'd an audiobook. This has never happened before...

Why the hell is this a classic? Because some guy said so? Because of the oh so beautiful writing style? Why?
No, don't bother. I don't give a flying fig, tbh.

This book is just awful. It's boring, tedious, verbose, and pretentious. And the main character is nothing more than a perverted asshole who never owns up to being a perverted asshole. All he does is justifying himself.

Ugh. Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh. Ugh.

Gerade habe ich das Hörbuch beendet und dieses Buch ist etwas, was ich am liebsten nie 'gelesen' hätte.

Der Inhalt war um einiges schockierender, da hatte ich kein Gefühl mehr für den Schreibstil.

Der 'nette' ältere Herr Humbert macht keinen Hehl aus seiner Neigung oder dem, was er falsch macht. Er macht einfach das, was ihm gefällt. Ja, er ist ein Pedophiler und ein Mörder und er verleugnet es nicht, aber er redet es sich schön - mit dieser Art Mensch sollte man ziemlich vorsichtig sein.

Seine Sic

Irgendwie kommen das Buch und ich gerade nicht zusammen, ich bin bei circa einem Drittel und alles in mir sträubt sich, weiterzulesen. Vielleicht ist gerade nicht der richtige Zeitpunkt, mal sehen, ob ich es irgendwann nochmals versuche.

The first-person narrator is a pedophile who falls in love with his landladys daughter and does everything to stay close to her. After being arrested for murder he writes down his story. The character is brilliantly written, I liked the book because the style and the brilliant but crazy main character made it very realistic but to be honest I also found it kind of creepy, because even though there are no detailed descriptions of the sex you really get to imagine how the main character feels and ...more
