"Lolita" is narrated by 37-year-old Humbert Humbert, a writer who is obsessed with what he calls "nymphets" or otherwise, young girls. Humbert, who narrates the story, explains that his obsession began with the death of his childhood sweetheart. As the book goes on, we get introduced to "Lolita", a 12-year-old girl that throughout the book has an affair with Humbert.

Although the subject of this book is disgusting, the book is overall amazing. The writing is the best I have seen and the story is very fun to follow. Vladimir Nabokov keeps his readers on their toes with many twists in the story. I encourage everyone to read this book because, in my opinion, it would appeal to just about anyone.
