Although beautifully written this book is not the best love story ever written. As a parent I did not enjoy the subject matter. An older man falls for a child of 12.7 years, and spends the next 3 years travailing around America staying in one hotel after another. He is trying to build a life of sorts for the 2 of them. I find Humbert Humbert to be completely obsessive and misguided. It took me a long time to read this book, but I finished it thinking it would get better. How could I not like this classic?
