It took me a little while to really get into but after that i couldn't put it down! :] But if your looking for a happy story with ...

When I got the book after seeing the film, I felt I was seeing the film again while reading, the film was sooo faithful to all the ...

Lolita 17 reviews Vladimir Nabokov
Penguin Books Ltd, 1998
Amazing book when you can read it...
+ BETTER THAN THE GREAT MOVIE + Sensual...interesting...
Because of my notion of what the book was about, I had a hard time starting it. As soon as I picked it up, I was hooked.
This is about a mentally disturbed man and how his mind works. And Nabokov's writing is amazing. I couldn't believe English is his third language. He is a master.

Most of us connect the notion of "home" or "childhood home" with one particular place, that innocent paradise we have since had to give up and keep searching for forever after. In Ruth Wilcox's world, Howards End is that place; the countryside house where she was born, where her family often ...

Did the movie leave you begging for more? Well, there are the sequels, but this story is the strongest one, and the book gives you all the extras that would never fit into one film. Get the book and many of the side stories that were only touched on in the film will suddenly spread out before you ...
