A slow burn in the beginning that leads to an interesting story and character arc that's worth reading, but I wish some of the themes and fantasy components were explored in more depth. Also, I was convinced this was a book on mythology, it's not.
Iconic, historic, inspirational but difficult to read. Filled with its own vocabulary, perspective changes, time shifts, and disruptions. The reading process was not enjoyable and the imagery, although well described, was difficult to picture and feel a part of. As the inspiration behind so many visual content like the matrix and cyberpunk, its no surprise that visual recreations of this book have been great. But, as a book, the descriptions and imagery just wasn't there enough for me to connect to.
Filled with clever dark humor, and such creative insults. Humbert is hilarious and disgusting all in one.
