We're reading Lolita in English class, so I thought I'd tell you guys a bit about it. It's about a guy named Humbert Humbert who is obsessed with girls aged between 9-14 - he calls them "nymphets". Basically, he marries this woman and then kills her off so he can be with her daughter, his step-daugher, Dolores Haze, also known as Lolita.

Vladimir Nabokov tells the story in a way which understates Humbert Humbert's actions, sort of making us believe that he isn't that bad and sympathize with him. But really, it's a disgusting character who is forcing a pre-teen girl to a sexual relationship with him.
