I guess the center of the book--where he was just taking Lolita from
place to place--seemed somewhat Drug Out. And almost the entire book was
simply a study of the psychology of desire--and that gets pretty
monotonous after not too very long, to me, anyways. The end of the book
pretty well seemed to justify its writing (the transformation of
lust/desire into sacrificial love) and its literary merit, and what I
found really interesting was that I had to go back to the first page to
find out what happened to the little nymphet :)
On a personal preference note, I wasn't particularly intrigued by the
guy's voice, either, but he was readable and interesting through most of
it.
