As the story went on it became less interesting. It may be a short novel but the second half was unbearable to read.

The good thing is, that it shows clearly that Nabokov is good at storytelling and it comes at no surprise. After all, it is the least what we can expect of those who inherited The Golden Age of Russian Literature.

Another good thing that made me look forward to read his early works is that he translated them, and sometimes with his son Dmitri.
