This is an intelligent, brilliantly written book. Those who are disgusted by the subject matter really do not get the point. There are so many layers here...Humbert Humbert is a sociopath, and somehow you are in his head and seeing life through his eyes! If the story line makes you queasy, (and everyone knows it before they even pick the book up) for heaven's sake, don't read it! If you want an intellectual, intense, clever, comical, awful, sad book then by all means read it. Nabakov was way before his time.
