I was always sort of appalled by its moral ambiguity, even as I enjoyed the writing. Nabokov is the one writer I can think of who is just fabulous in two languages. I am astonished someone can write that well not in his native tongue.<br /><br />I have to be honest -- I pretty much hated "The Time Traveler's Wife." I think I've told you this before, that its message of "Life is random and painful and then you die" seemed overplayed and unappealing to me. I'm sure it says something dire about me that I prefer the escape, humor and order of Lord Peter Wimsey's world to the frozen feet and pointlessness of "The Time Traveler's Wife."<br /><br />I guess I'm not a Nihilist after all.
