    There's little I can say here without spoiling the book for anyone who has yet to read it. I could quite easily turn into Kinbote and provide a line by line annotation to his analysis which would be just as unnecessary as his is.

I can't recommend this highly enough; if you really enjoy literature and mentally challenging and engaging novels, this is for you.
