You read Lolita sprawling limply in your chair, ravished, overcome, nodding scandalized assent
Martin Amis, Observer
A masterpiece. One of the great works of art of our age
Independent
His command of words, his joy in them, his comic and ecstatic use of them...makes reading his work such an intense joy
Daily Telegraph
Lolita is more the shocking because it is both intensely lyrical and wildly funny ... a Medusa's head with trick paper snakes
Time
A great novel ... It widens our own humanity
Guardian
There's no funnier monster in modern literature than poor, doomed Humbert Humbert. Going to hell in his company would always be worth the ride
Independent
Redeeming, spendid, headlong, endlessly comic and evocative
John Updike
Rapturous ... incendiary
Time Out
