Lolita

"Lolita" is Vladimir Nabokov's most famous work. This book has been banned and discussed to such an extent that I had to read to see what the fuss was about. 

Oh dear. This book was disturbing, so very disturbing. I continued to read because I was appalled about what was happening. I wouldn't want either of my children to read this before 30!

Having a small daughter of my own, reading about a raging pedophile gave me nightmares. And to think, this book is fiction, but the idea of the obsessed pedophile is unfortunately all too real. I couldn't see the beautiful writing through the repulsive plot.

I won’t ever be picking this one up again!
