Lolita is the most beautifully written novel I have ever read. With that said, the subject matter is deeply disturbing. That is what makes this classic a journey to remember...you love it and hate it at the same time. The audio version is amazing. Jeremy Irons IS Humbert Humbert. I read somewhere that he received a Grammy for this reading and I can understand why. He takes you into the mind of a mad man and even though he is revolting, you can't help but feel for poor, pathetic Humbert. His obsession is all consuming - even though at times he seems to detest Lo, his whiney, underage seductress. This is well worth your time and if you have only read the book , I highly receommend listening to the audio version. It is unforgetable.
