I just finished rereading this book. I originally read it about 5 or 6 years ago and liked it but this time I was blown away by it. Nabokov's use of language alone makes this book worthy of five stars. The first time through I felt bored at times, as if something should be happening but wasn't. This time I was delighted by Nabokov's humor and the psychology, for lack of a better word, of Humbert's actions.

Good stuff.
