Lolita

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

Humbert Humbert - scholar, aesthete and romantic - has fallen completely and utterly in love with Lolita Haze, his landlady's gum-snapping, silky skinned twelve-year-old daughter. Reluctantly agreeing to marry Mrs Haze just to be close to Lolita, Humbert suffers greatly in the pursuit of romance; but when Lo herself starts looking for attention elsewhere, he will carry her off on a desperate cross-country misadventure, all in the name of Love. Hilarious, flamboyant, heart-breaking and full of ingenious word play, Lolita is an immaculate, unforgettable masterpiece of obsession, delusion and lust.


                                         Alyssa DeCarlucci- This book is written in a strange, but beautiful way. The entire premise of the book is weird and a bit inappropriate which is why it is a banned book. Although strange, I like how poetically written it is and it makes me want to continue reading. This book overall was good, but is more for older readers because it's content. It could be difficult to understand for younger readers as well.
