    Why we think it’s a great listen: Among the great literary achievements of the 20th century, Lolita soars in audio thanks to the incomparable Jeremy Irons, bringing to life Nabokov’s ability to shock and enthrall more than 50 years after publication. Lolita became a cause celebre because of the erotic predilections of its protagonist. But Nabokov's masterpiece owes its stature not to the controversy its material aroused but to its author's use of that material to tell a love story that is shocking in its beauty and tenderness.

    Jim says: "An Absolutely Gorgeous Audible Experience"

    If you could sum up Lolita in three words, what would they be?

    intriguing, perverse, honest


    What did you like best about this story?

    The pure rawness of it.


    Which character – as performed by Jeremy Irons – was your favorite?

    Humbert Humbert of course. His American accents sound a bit odd but HH was always on point.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    Sometimes it was disgusting, but that is kind of the point I suppose.


    Any additional comments?

    Jeremy Irons transforms the story of Lolita that any Nabokov fan would enjoy
