Glory Audiobook

" A very early and rather romantic Nabokov. A young man's novel, but surprisingly powerful, and full of Russian romanticism and melancholy. "

" Really great novel by everyone's favorite Russian emigre. I liked it better than Pale Fire, most people would probably argue me on that one, but fuck you, I say. "

" What is up with the description of the book on the cover verso of the Vintage edition? It's like I read another book entirely. "

" A mixture of Faulkner and Woolf in the Nabokovian style. An enjoyable read. "

" I love Nabokov but wasn't too fond of this one. I can only assume that is because its brilliance is way over my head. "

" Glory is slow and Russian for about 4/5 of the book - not bad, just Russian - but the ending is fucking brilliant. "

" Vladimir Nabokov has, unfortunately, always disappointed me, though I've returned to him many times hoping it wouldn't be so. This book was an exception, and I enjoyed it a lot. Nabokov's descriptive powers are really on display here. "

" What a snooze-fest. My least favorite Nabokov so far. Where's the magic? "

" not my favourite nabokov book, that's for sure "

" an early Russian novel of Nabokov that I had never read, shows the dangers of romanticism. As usual with Nabokov, I had to look up a few words, but well worth it. "

" This is one of Nabokov's happiest books, I think. "

" read 12/00 "

" Nabokov = fucking genius. I mean: "Amidst the twilight of the room, all in white, sat Irina, seeming to float int he dusk like a ghostly turtle.' GHOSTLY TURTLE?? Holy holy mackerel all holy. So good. "

" Nothing really happens, but I suppose Nabokov did warn me in his introduction. "

" Pierwsza z ksiazek Nabokova, która przeczytalem. Wspaniale dzielo, bylem pod wielkim wrazeniem po przeczytaniu jej. Nie moge nic wiecej napisac, bo byloby to zbyt nieobiektywne ;) "
