Lolita has some beautiful writing in it...and I'm not just talking about page 61.
But I felt that it weakened as it went on. I was going to say "became a little flaccid after the first half", but I won't.
I considered naming one of my daughters Lolita, cos it's a beautiful name that deserves to be reclaimed. But in the end I didn't - I'm not sure if that's cowardice or child protection!
