Don't listen to this illiterate, OP. This is the reaction everyone has that can't read trying to understand Nabokov: "it's all le style, no substance!!1"

You can expect nothing less than a masterpiece, but read Pnin after, because that one's even better

Are you saying Pnin is his best?

What bearing does that have on the quality of a book? That's like saying a book is beautifully written, but it's about a guitar player
