4.0

So difficult to talk about. It lost me at points, but Nabokov has such a distinct and interesting writing style. In my opinion, it truly exposes the lengths a predator will go to justify his actions, to make himself seem likeable, to present himself as such a weak, humble, and 'woe is me' character. I definitely need to explore other's views on this book.
