Beautiful, heartbreaking novel

The book is a masterpiece and the narration is perfect. Any detailed description wouldn't do it justice.

Great book, but ..

read The Passenger first, this is just a companion piece to that one. Still very enjoyable but it functions better as a sequel.

Terrific book, John Crowley at his best. The narrator is very good too, and the accents are perfect.

Awe and exhilaration—along with heartbreak and mordant wit—abound in Lolita, which tells the story of the aging Humbert Humbert's obsession for the nymphet Dolores Haze. Lolita is also the story of a hypercivilized European colliding with the cheerful barbarism of postwar America.

An Absolutely Gorgeous Audible Experience

Beautifully tragic book, fantastic narration
Revisado: 01-10-14
What does Jeremy Irons bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I think this is the first time that I've genuinely preferred the narrated version to actually reading the novel. Irons is that good - his grasp of the emotional impact, absurdity and tragedy of different parts of the novel is evident throughout.
Any additional comments?
I have been "re-reading" books via audible during my commute these past few years, and without question this is one of my favorites. Nabokov was a genius, and no body does it better than Irons.
