I’d recommend this book to those who enjoyed Jun’ichiro Tanizaki’s Naomi. Although, this is much harder to suggest as a potential read. Lolita is an incredible look into the rotten minds that take advantage of minors and seem to think that a sufficient amount of perceivable intelligence will save them from being judged (rightly so) by the law and society.
I have never felt more disturbed by such a well written piece of work in my life. If you walk away from this novel thinking it was a love story, I hope you grow a few brain cells or a brain entirely.
