Lolita

The prose itself is beautiful and pretty much unmatched, but as a whole...it's not for me. I found the actual story something of a trudge, and thought that in terms of plot, it pretty much unraveled during the second half. In addition, I found the single-minded fixation of H.H. numbing, and his personality absolutely abhorrent, which I think is the point, but it makes for unsatisfying reading. It might be okay if there was something new and vital being imparted as the novel progressed, some interesting continued psychological development, but after the first fifty pages, you really know all you need to know.
