"Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins!. My sin, my soul!."

I've read the book and watched the movie and they're both great!.
The book is one of the best novels ever written!. It's disturbing, haunting and ultimately breathtaking!.
I think there's two versions of the movie, i've seen the '98 version with Jeremy Irons!. It's such a beautiful film, very touching and moving!. The events are quite true to the book and the actors really do the story justice!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I've read the book and it is excellent!. It's important to remember that Nabokov recognizes how Humbert has stolen Lolita's girlhood from her!. The scene in which Humbert kills Quity is one of the funniest scenes I've ever read!.

I've also seen the Kubrick version of the movie!. I liked it a lot, but I liked the novel more!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I've read the book and watched both adaptations (Kubrick's and Lyne's)!. I'd say Lyne's Lolita was more accurate!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
