This book definitely isn't my childhood, but I wish it was. It would've saved my a*s when I was a moody elementary brat

What ages would you recommend?

Read this for school even watched the movie that was made.

Had read this one before 20. ☻

I love this! And the movie!

how ironic that it's banned in some schools, this makes the book even better ...

Read it in 7th grade! Loved it! Had to skip some never-ending philosophical conversations between Dorian and his friend Lord Henry :P

This book scarred me. So disturbing.

Great book

This one was obligatory in high school...

❤❤❤❤

Best book I read in 9th grade <3

Anyone who can get through the entirety of this book is amazing!

This one was obligatory at mid school.

Why isn't this higher up the list?!

I hated this book when I read it but now years later I hold a deep appreciation..

It requires objectivity and maturity -- probably a good exercise for younger readers.

Oh geez..that one...

All the s****y Hollywood adaptations discouraged me from coming close to this book!

Read it

By the way Nabokov never wanted the book to be printed with any images on it and it was said directly when the book was published first. This is what he never wanted to start: the "nymphette" cult. I have read this one in Russian although the original one was in English. And I feel very sorry that this book created so much mess around 12 year olds "asking for it" in this world full of sexual violence that even girls of such young age face all over the world. :( Makes me sad...

I just bought it ill let you guys know

One of my favourite books!

This one also I've read before 20. ☻

The definitive book regarding war and its futility..

Loved it.

Ugly illustration!

Highly recommend you read this!

My father was just a teacher but he adored this book, occasionally quoting it at the dinner table. To this day, I still can't understand the reason why he was so fascinated with it.

This fraud, huh?
